Then 1994 and Now 2015

Same Same but different

Collection of pictures from our 1994 ride and paired with 2015 pictures. The routes were different with a very few sections repeated. Somethings have not changed much.

George (Buddy) HallI really enjoyed the comparisons from 1994 to 2015. You 2 have had some truly amazing adventures. The thought of cycling in Africa has always appealed to me - though for several reasons it's highly unlikely I'll ever do that - so I'll read your journal and follow along vicariously.
