A travel story by Chris & Erin Ratay


Description

The 2010 trip, "Africa 2" will be from Cape Town to Tanzania via Mozambique and Malawi. The 2009 trip, "Africa 1" included South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, and Swaziland, returning and leaving the bike near Cape Town, South Africa. In 2008 we went back to South America/Patagonia.

The plan is pretty simple.....to PLAY just as hard as we work! Every year, after working 7-days a week, we leave the country during the (northern hemisphere) winter holidays and travel abroad for 2 months by motorcycle - usually in the southern hemisphere, where it's warmer!

You two are living my dream. I've wanted to do this since I was a kid with my first bike. I plan to retire next year at the ripe old age of 56 and start around the Northern Hemisphere in 2015. If you have any tips, I would love to hear them.
