A fabulous write-up again Eric, I am amazed you find time as it was my biggest regret that I did not do that when we crossed the Sahara. Your descriptions brought back many memories which make me want to start travelling again! I hope your back improves and a safe journey, prayers with you Brenda XX

Well done so far, Eric.Keep it up – at least you have not been collected by the lunch truck yet. I dont envy you in the tent as I know it can be really cold there at night. Hope the advice from Gretchen and George helps with the backache.
Enjoy the rest on the ferry crossing.

Hey Eric,

Surprised but glad to see you are able to send updates pretty regularly. I’m surprised that you were cold in Africa in summer? Keep it up and I hope you get your back sorted.

Good luck,

Dirk

Eric,

“All that had changed was my perception.” and “Little things assume great importance!” We enjoy all of each of your notes, but those are our favorite observations from the Luxorious entry. And also, your getting a massage over getting a hotel room. If back problem is middle and upper back try lying flat on your back on the ground and bringing legs, hips up over your head to touch your toes, legs fully extended, to the ground behind your head. Not mandatory to touch the ground, this is a goal. Getting the legs anywhere over and beyond your head works at releasing and stretching the back muscle. Would recommend before bed and upon rising for thirty to sixty seconds. If lower back, while biking and in the saddle occasionally push your naval as far forward as possible and hold 5 to 10 seconds and then push the naval back as far as you can and hold equal amount of time. You are stretching, concave and convex, the muscles around the lower vertebrae and if you do it off and on as you are riding each day it will make a difference in the tightness. These are gentle positions, not rigorous administered. Relax in them.

Gretchen and George

Eric, I wrote my comment where it state website after so many comments. My grandson said the other day that he is not technically challengd implying that i may be perhaps. Eric I said that I enjoyed the serial – I wondered whether it was a thriller, horro or what and decided that is is pure adventure. I want to print it and take it out to the children. Take heed – children with sticks – trucks – etc. What remained in my mind from the previous episode was you sitting under the truck in the rain. And all of this for the children of Thamsanqa in Motherwell, South Africa. Love you
Tia

Hi Eric,
It seems that you have an afinity to argue with motorised vehicles, take care you have a very long way to go. However it looks as though you are doing well, keep it up.
