1 year on the road - FAQS, hints & Tips

Hi Folks

We finished our 1 year road trip down West & central Africa and have posted an FAQ / hints and tips list covering a whole range of stuff from medical, security, borders, bribes, visas, photography etc..etc....Most of it is applicable to two or four wheel travel in most counties.

You can view it at our website: FAQs - Langebaan Sunset - Stonehenge UK to Cape Town SA - 2010/11

Hope it helps with your own trip planning

Cheers

Nick
