Almost time to leave!

Took the bike for the free service and tyres by BMW Battersea this morning, will pick up some essential parts later today as well.

From Battersea I took the tube, Victoria line suspended so had to do a round trip, to Victoria station to pick up currency for the journey...lots of 1 dollar notes!!

I will miss London, but I will certainly not miss the underground trains!

My friend Tom, (a pommy living in Cape Town) decided he will meet me in Tanzania, so he set off a week ago from Ct, he let me know yesterday that he has arrived in Maputo (Mozambique), wow, 3000km in 5 days! He is heading to Kilimanjaro to climb the mountain, so he has another couple of thousand km to go and 10 days of climbing to do! Good luck to him, maybe we will meet up at the Masaimara if all goes according to plan...
