Cape Town to London by public transport
May 1997 to October 1998
In May 1997, Dave Martin and Lance Greyling set off on a now famous journey through Africa.
When we left we had no idea where we were going or what adventures this continent had in store for us. Our journey started in Cape Town and ended in London with 17 months of crazy adventures in between. Below you'll find links to the various pages of this story... but this was a journey, and if you want to share this journey with us we strongly recommend you start as the beginning and travel the road with us, step by step, bus by bus, dugout canoe by dugout canoe. This is the only way to truly experience the beauty of East Africa, the enigmas of Ethiopia, the craziness of Congo, the diversity of West Africa, the heat of the Sahara and ultimately our emotional departure from Africa's shores. It is no exageration to say that this journey changed our lives for ever. And, judging by the hundreds of emails we've received from strangers who've stumbled upon this site, our journey has inspired others to explore this amazing continent
What follows is the collection of the monthly emails and photo's we sent to family and friends (and "subscribers") while on the road.
