We saw Anna to say goodbye to her very early on Sunday morning, a very cold wet morning, and then we walked across to Anna’s home and had breakfast with Roelina and Robbie-Jan and we all said goodbye. The rain was still coming down and so we decided to wait a while as we only had 70km to ride to the town of Groningen and so we took a very slow ride once the rain had stopped through all the small roads and even managed to find a small sand track for about 2km. The ride was very pretty with lots of green fields and open ground. The cattle are all fat and lazy very different to the ones we saw in Africa.
We arrived at Johannes home in Groningren and spent the next while catching up on the traveling that we had both done in Africa. Johannes had also done some shopping for us and the new radiator and a few other parts for my bike were waiting for us. Larry has spent most of this morning fitting the parts and checking my bike. We have also sorted out our luggage and will be posting a box of bits and pieces home, this will give us a lot more space on our bikes as well as make them lighter. We are now waiting for the tyre for my bike as I don’t think that it will make it all the way to Sweden and back but Larry will.
Johannes also contacted a shipping agent for us and it seems that we will be able to ship the bikes from Amsterdam to Nairobi. We are hoping to get this done round about the 16 June and then start our way slowly home via Zambia, Namibia and Cape Town.
