The dogs are scarier than anything! When they come at you in a giant pack, you start to worry. Thank God we weren't going uphill at the time, or we never would have outrun them. Africa is amazing to cycle. Very different terrains and landscapes. Not to mention the culture. The continent is so divers that the Cairo to Cape Town route gives you a chance to see the amazing diversity. It is true. The dogs are scarier than anything!

I am looking at some cycling holidays and Africa has just gone straight to the top of my list! The photos and tales that you have must be amazing and no doubt last you a life time! I had an experience of being chased by dogs in Cambodia and they are insanely vicious things arent they! Usually they are half eaten by maggots and no doubt have rabies so you do not want to be bitten by one of those! Its a good job you guys were fit enough to out run them and the baboons on your bikes! .-= Ross´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.runtheline.com/garmin-forerunner-110-gps-running-watch-review" rel="nofollow">Garmin 110</a> =-.

Glad you were both safe for the most part. I think the rocks would have driven me insane, especially after the fatigue of all that cycling. Guess it wouldn't be an adventure without all the hardships :) Baboons are quite scary, just take a look at their teeth! Glad you were both safe for the most part.
