When he returned home, you become really aware of being able to complete the round the world riding a bike, you almost certainly have the applicant's desire to leave again, to live an adventure like that. I think that travel the roads and tracks in Africa is the dream of almost every rider who loves to travel, Charley and Ewan therefore, are no exception. After going from the West more eastward from London and New York in 2007 decided to start from the northernmost point of Scotland to reach the southernmost tip of the immense African continent and to call their new journey Long Way Down . At first the characters seem to travel more difficult and less beautiful than the first, the minds are stretched, probably for personal reasons that no one has managed to make quite at home, the group does not engage and even seems ready to burst.
The two ferries, the first in Italy and the second in Egypt, to be taken absolutely worth the trip over the slowdown, even more influence in a negative mood already unstable of all.
As Americans were not enough members of the crew do not get a visa to go to Libya and Egypt have to reach by air.
Then, incredibly, on As the journey continues and trouble comes true, those dictated by nature, but also the meetings begin, the experiences, the nights in tents, the breathtaking views and the faces become more relaxed and serene.
Indeed, if we stop a moment to observe them in the middle of the journey of Ewan and Charley's eyes (and those of Ewan, to be honest, you could write whole chapters but I will detain ed) have a different light, have already been infected, they are already sick of Africa.
In fact, only see through the screen of canvas, the beautiful pictures of this trip will fill your eyes and you open your mind. It makes you realize that Africa is not only a great country, even if it is one big soul that all its population is different, every state has a different history and, unfortunately, several problems.
Charley and Ewan, UNICEF ambassador since the time of their first trip, visit different villages and various harsh realities many of them forgotten, and indeed, as you read this post do not forget to visit the UNICEF website in the section on The Missing Face project to better understand the commitment of the two.
the border with Malawi, joins the group Ewan's wife, Eve. I have to tell the truth, I changed my mind at the beginning is totally goofy ride the bike on the roads in Africa that are not really the English ones, but does not give up won, and after a few days even become more familiar with the dirt and integrates wonderfully with the group. Not cheap when you consider that drives the bike just a couple of months and appears to adventure has already begun! Brava.
The trip ends after 85 days in Cape Town, where Trupa enters accompanied by dozens of motorcyclists who until then had followed the journey via the Internet and decide to accompany Charley and Ewan in the last section.
Hopefully there will really be a Long Way Up, as it was in the projects!
