It was an incredible time and we enjoyed the landscapes, for us unknown animals, different cultures and we met a lot of friendly people. Every country had it's own specialty and beauty and there was one thing we really enjoyed.........</FONT> </P> <P><FONT FACE="Comic Sans MS">In Australia we bought a car and we drove through this enormous landscape for over two months. We loved the independence, our "own" place and the possibility of visiting places no one had ever been. Now we see, this experience during our last trip, is basically thé reason why we choose for this next adventure. We wanted to combine the great possibilities of travelling by car and the beauty of Africa. So we came up with this idea.</FONT> </P> <P><FONT FACE="Comic Sans MS">It seemed to be a great challenge to travel from our home country, The Netherlands, to South Africa. All the way overland, in our own 4 Wheel Drive. We came up with this idea almost two years ago. Now, a lot of time, a lot of research and information further on, we know it's even a greater challenge as we expected it to be in the first place.</FONT><BR> <FONT FACE="Comic Sans MS">Nevertheless... we're going to take this challenge!</FONT> </P> <P><FONT FACE="Comic Sans MS">It's very hard to make a plan for all the needed preparations beforehand. We do try really hard and one of the main things we want to plan before we leave, is the route we want to drive from north to south Africa. Underneath we want to show you the route we planned to take during our journey.</FONT> </P> <P><FONT FACE="Comic Sans MS">At the moment we are</FONT> <FONT FACE="Comic Sans MS" COLOR="Red"><B>325 days</B></FONT> <FONT FACE="Comic Sans MS">on our African Way and we are in:</FONT> <BR><CENTER><FONT FACE="Comic Sans MS"><B>The Netherlands</B></FONT></CENTER> <BR><FONT FACE="Comic Sans MS">Check out our <A HREF="Logbook.htm">Logbook</A> page for a brief report.</FONT> </P> <P><CENTER><A HREF="Map.htm"><IMG SRC="../Picture/General/Afr_pet.gif" ALT="Click to enlarge" BORDER="0" HEIGHT="103" WIDTH="100"></A></CENTER> <CENTER><B><FONT FACE="Arial,Helvetica" SIZE="-2"><A HREF="Map.htm">click to enlarge</A></FONT></B></CENTER> </P> <P><CENTER><TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="10" WIDTH="0"> <TR> <TD> <CENTER><A HREF="#Top"><IMG SRC="../Picture/General/Ar_up.gif" ALT="To top of page" BORDER="0" HEIGHT="32" WIDTH="34"></A></CENTER> <CENTER><FONT FACE="Comic Sans MS"><A HREF="#Top">Top</A></FONT></CENTER> </TD> </TR> </TABLE></CENTER> </P> <HR ALIGN="center" SIZE="1" WIDTH="50%"> <P><CENTER><A href="http://counterstats16.bravenet.com/index.php?id=197055" target="Blank"> <SCRIPT language="Javascript"> document.write('<IMG src="http://counter16.bravenet.com/counter.php?id=197055&ref='+escape(document.referrer)+'" border="0" ALT="Bravenet counter">'); </SCRIPT></A></CENTER> </P> <P><SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript">  </SCRIPT> <CENTER><FONT FACE="Arial,Helvetica" SIZE="-2">African Way Homepage: http://www.come.to/africanway</FONT></CENTER> <CENTER><FONT FACE="Arial,Helvetica" SIZE="-2"><A HREF="mailto:edwinauke@hotmail.com">edwinauke@hotmail.com</A></FONT></CENTER> </P>
