A quick hello

Hi there all.

Just a quick note to say hi!!

I've had a nice ride from Windhoek ... not too cold, a little boring and monotonous regarding the scenery ... but really beautiful and good fun!!

Had another problem ... or rather repeated issue with my one eye ... pain, red, swollen and real shit ... ended up going to the specialist at the Keetmanshoop Hospital ... nice, friendly "front shop" staff ... useless Dr to say the least ... as a fellow cyclist said: "She might as well have kicked you in the balls and you'd have had the same results!" ... i.e. USELESS!!

Otherwise real well ... entered the Ai-Ais area today ... real beautiful and back on dirt road - real good dirt road! Went to the Fish River Canyon for sun downers ... awesome ... and enjoying some drinks for the nurse's birthday this evening.

Off for a rest day at Ai-Ais tomorrow and then cross the border the next day ... back HOME!!!

See you soon, and I'll update this again from sweet old South Africa

Lotsa Love,
Patrick
