One Man and His Bike

January

11.1.03

John spent Christmas and New Year in St Louis, Senegal with Massami and a Japanese girl on a motorbike – we are awaiting further details!  Since his arrival in Dakar, Massami and John have gone their separate ways.  Massami has flown to Tunis where he is to continue his cycling trip around Sicily, Italy, Greece and Turkey. 

 

John phoned us this evening and is camped in the bush on route from Dakar to Mali.  He has chosen to change his route to avoid the Ivory Coast and will therefore be heading through Burkina Faso.

We have not had much contact with John recently as he has no mobile phone signal.  He is travelling with three French cyclists to Bamako, Mali. John's 'Peter Pan' outlook on life is being tested whilst he attempts to keep up with the pace - his companions are 22 years old!
