Hi Eric,
I have talked to Karl in Nanyuki and if you have time while staying overnight give him a call . He could be a real help should you need something. He is an expert on Kenya and Tansania and knows a lot about the country and the road conditions. Feel free to call him. The local phone number is 62 for Nanyuki, extension 32 448.
Regards – Helmut.

Hi Eric, I am actually in Motherwell again and I continue to admire you for riding on your bike to help the orphan kids.
Keep on going and have a safe journey!

All the best to you! Elwin

Hi Eric,
we are very relieved that you arrived safely in Marsabit – I guess the worst part in every aspect lies behind you. A few more days and you’ll be back in “civilization” – tarmac roads, cafes, dry cleaners, shopping malls selling solid poles – don’t get spoiled!
I hope you can get rid of that saddle-sore. Might be wise to spend a little more time in the truck until you are pain-free for the other 6666 km?
Take care and beware of the Kenyan traffic!
Helmut & Ingrid

Hi Eric

I’m getting worried for you, though you look fit on your photograph. Don’t push yourself too far. Felt every bump on the road with you.

What a challenge this has been for you so far. Well done, but as Dave and Sue say, dont kill yourself. Mum always asks how you are and I have to report that you are fine but you are looking a bit lean in the photo.Hopefully the saddle sores are all behind you now – if you will excuse the pun.
