> Say goodbye?
Day 181 – Tues 30 - 15,120km, Luanda, Angola
I’m rapidly losing faith in our inside man as my protracted attempts to get a visa extension enter the second week. Apparently I will receive a final decision tomorrow, Wednesday, but regardless of the outcome I think we’ll have to cut our losses and hit the road. Thankfully Helen is here now to help pass the time ....... although pressure is mounting by the day to say goodbye to my beard!

I'm also heading south on a bicycle from madrid to south africa. now in franceville, gabon. Have all the visas except angola and im wondering if after receiving a five day visa you just go for it, for namibia/angola border? i have read your blogs and will avoid all the hassel trying to get an extention and hoping the border officals will be merciful. if you have any recommendations send me an email. in the meantime enjoy - dont know if i can part with my beard!!
Have your say:
