Happy 2016 everyone! I hope it is filled with joy, adventure and good health for you and your loved ones.
What a start to the new year this has been for me. Trinity is finally home – very much in need of a service and a tyre check but otherwise she’s in good shape, as you can see below.
The bonus last week was catching up with Dave and Elaine who I met in Bryce Canyon and spent a couple of nights with in San Francisco. It was so wonderful to catch up with them and I was touched that they made the time during their short visit to see me. Thanks guys!
On Friday I head to South Africa to spend time with my family; hopefully fling myself off the side of Table Mountain (to abseil that is); and tour around my own country. I cannot wait! I have hired a BMW1200GS for my 8 day Western Cape tour, which I am ridiculous excited about sharing with you.
Cape Town has always been my favourite city in the world. Not because it is rich in culture or gorgeous architecture, although Table Mountain as a backdrop is pretty spectacular, but because it’s where my heart sings! I was reminded of this between Christmas and new year when I was in Cape Town for a few days. I cannot remember when last I was so happy! Of course, being with some of my favourite people certainly added to my joy. As a teaser I thought I’d share my favourite spot, Chapman’s Peak. It reminds me of the drive along Highway 1 between Big Sur and Monterey in California. What wonderful memories!
For more details about my upcoming trip please visit my ‘South Africa’ page, and of course, keep an eye out for my blog. I plan to take you on a exciting adventure through South Africa’s Garden Route.
My motorcycle journey starts on 21 January so watch this space!
