You will find FREEDOM via your DREAMS!
My new Love...KTM 640cc Enduro taking it offroad for the first time.
Oceans so blue...It definately brings the best out of me!
Spectacular beaches without any polution or coral. Definately brings the best out of me.
Enjoying a shower out in the open air with a gorgeous view in the backround. What in the world could equal this?Now, this have been one of those many moments where I hate to be in Africa. I just lost yet again another posting due to TANESCO "reliable electricity supply" to the promised local community. Fuck, was auch immer!
Let me start again. The reason for me going to South Africa was to collect cash to purchase a 2002 KTM 640cc (Offroad & Road) bike and I did so last Tuesday. I received my license as well "legally" from the local authorities (on Thursday) for only USD75.00 and I passed with a destinction in my absence. Any one has a price, just name it!
So, this weekend was definately the best opportunity to familiarize myself with my recently purchased bike and truly put it through the tough terrain to find out if it all was worth the expense. I truly have to agree that I have found new happiness and my dreams from childhood could now become a reality. One of my dreams was to travel on a motorbike from the Equator to South Africa via Zambia & Mozambique and I'm definately planning to do it next year this time all along the eastern coastline of Africa.
So, Dirk & Rieta invitied me to join them and friends of them for the weekend at a beach house about 50km's south of Dar Es Slaaam. The drive included at least a 60km detour (due to insufficient directions), 2 major cloud breaks and real muddy dirt track racing. Saturday we set off and reached the beach house around 1:30pm with the main aim to consumpt as much of alcohol as possibile or that was rather my idea. It started off quite slow due to unpacking and getting familiarise with our new surroundings, but eventually socialising started turn out the way we know best. Actually, I arrived on the scene first and sat and observed the most spectacular view I have ever seen in my whole life. Just so fucking incredible!
Around 2:30pm we were all parting along enjoying the view, interesting conversations and off course we were definately supproting the fair Eastern Africa trade relations with alcohol consumption. The party went on 'till around 2pm Sunday morning and I even waked up without any babalas. Sunday was definately the most beautiful morning I have seen in Tanzania since I have arrived here with the most beautiful view over the tropical Indian Ocean. We went down to the beach for the swimming and a couple of snap shots. After the sun fried out skin, breakfast was served with bacon, toast, eggs and me, at least 2 beers.
While the others prepared to leave again, we settled on the beach again. Amazing, just so fucking amazing. I have never felt so free 'till this morning and I really enjoyed the company I was finding myself in. Basically I could have called them my new family since Mauritius, but this time it was great just to hang out a bit and just enjoy beauty what mother nature has to offer. It was really such an amazing feeling lying on the beach or floating in the sea without any interferance from the outside world. This beaches was so beautiful, clean, no coral and at least 400m of untouched beauty. No polution, no noises, really no foreigners and no fucking taxis.
I really enjoyed this long weekend even if I have third degree sunburn wounds....just kidding, but I kind of have some visible lobster marks all over my body. But not as bad as Dirk though. So, all fun to an end and now the focus is back on work. 'Till next weekend it is!
The Lourens family, thanx a million for such an incredible weekend and we sure need to do it again. Thanx again, I really did enjoy it tremendously. So, for all you guys out there, if you really do want to check out the pics of the weekend, visit my flickr photoblog. Photos will go up shortly and they are amazing.
So PEACE on EARTH.....and U2 RULES!
Ciao
