Thank you very much. It's a Mercedes Atego 1017 4x4 Camper truck

Ja dit is 'n baie mooi deel van Griekeland

Dankie Rick.

Thank you

Baie bly jy geniet dit Johan. Bly on te sien iemand kyk daarna.

Wow, that area is very rich in history

But it is still beautiful in its starkness

Thanks

That is the name that we photographed whilst travelling through.

Ha ha, yes we had some severe potholes on this trip, but the ones in Georgia and Russia were the worse.

Thanks a lot. cant wait to get on the road again

Baie dankie vir die terugvoer. Waardeer dit.

Yes there is a bus from Tbilisi to Vladikavkaz. We saw two going through. The border crossing is quite a long experience. In total 8 hours for us. If you go by bus it will be much quicker. You need to exit the bus with your luggage, go through customs and then board again. They really search everything and every bag.

Thank you kindly Boet.

somehow your comment bypassed my checks. Apologies. I'll send you a copy of the write up I did

@nomadz-wheretheroadtakesus A suggestion for entering Russia from Georgia. Make a short story of who you, why are you entering Russia and where you are going. You can use any translation app to change it to Russian. Our biggest problem was the language and them not understanding what we are coming to do in Russia. Second issue was us trying to explain that we come from South Africa and yes we are white. They thought we were Ukrainians trying to enter Russia as South Africans must be black. If you have a big rig, you have to enter through the truck section on the Russian side. You wont be able to make your turn through the vehicle section

The border from Georgia to Russia is very long. We arrived at 06h15 in the morning at the border. Big rigs can drive all the way to the front and exit via the "Cars" section. Once through you drive to the Russian border where you are stopped at a gate. At this gate you will receive a white piece of paper (A25 size) in duplicate. Big rigs have to go to the truck lane, as you wont be able to turn in the "Cars" section. While you are in the queue, fill in this document in duplicate! When you get to the front, you have to exit your vehicle and go to one of the booths with your passports, vehicle registration and those two pieces of paper. Here they will ask you why you are there, where you are going, Here is where the translation of your story would help, as there are basically nobody that speaks English or German. If all ok, you will be asked to drive your vehicle forward and it then gets inspected. Get ready to open all your bins. Once they are satisfied, they will give you another piece of paper to proof that you have been inspected. If not, you'll go to the Special office where you have to answer a couple of questions about who you are, where did you work, what is the purpose of your visit and where you are going to stay in Russia. If all ok, you will need to pull your vehicle out of the inspection bay. Park somewhere and then walk around to the "Car" section. Go to window 1 and ask for the temporary importation papers. Make sure that you get 3 pieces of documents. One must be in duplicate. Do not answer N/A but rather answer the question in the negative. EG. No, I do not own property in Russia. (You might have to force your way to the front to get the papers. Once you have filled them in, bring them back to window one and fall into the queue. Only the driver needs to be there. They will ask for the Proof of Inspection paper. (Rather take all your docs with you). If you make a mistake, ask for a new set. They will send you back. Remember to fill in any hotel as your address. But remember, your story must make sense. Once you have your TIP, you may exit the customs area. At the exit gate, they will take the proof of Inspection paper. Remember those 2 pieces of paper you received upon entering? You will now only have one. Protect that as if it is Gold. Every time you get stopped at a road block, they cant read German or English, but once they see that little piece of paper, they let us go. When you exit the gate, you drive about two hundred meters and find a lot of shops on your right hand side. Go to Office number 7 for your sim and insurance. The lady speaks English. I hope this helps.

@@nomadz-wheretheroadtakesus THANKS SIR🖒 FOR ANSWER

Thank you

Thank you for your comments. The original plan was to travel through Sweden and Norway and then exit through Finland into Russia, but due to the war, that was not possible. Being a South African, we don't need a visa for Russia, so that made it quite easy to enter. But I have British friends who had difficulty getting a Russian visa.

👍

We had to back out the last 10 kilometers due to the riverbed being to soft. The portion of the Schlucht that we did do, was lost when we dropped our hard drive.

@@nomadz-wheretheroadtakesus Thanks. Such a pity. Go safe.

Thank you very much.

The RV was privately build and we made a lot of changes as we started using it. Now sitting in Mongolia, we have even more changes we would make if we build a new one. If you need more info, you are welcome to us.

Hi Peter, yes the inland is quite flat, but when you enter from Georgia, you drive through the Caucuses, and they are quite spectacular. Also around Lake Baikal are some high ranges.

Yes, its our home language.

@nomadz-wheretheroadtakesus5828 I thought afrikaans is only spoken at southern Africa countries like Namibia 🇳🇦 and south africa 🇿🇦.

Thank you

Roeleen, the heading says that the video covers our travel from Meteorite Rest Camp close to Grootfontein to the rest camp at Kamanjab, called Oppikoppi. We do not state that the Meteorite Rest is at Kamanjab.

I have listened to my commentary again, and we clearly states that we are leaving the Hoba Crater to travel to the Waterberg. At 00:32 we show clearly that we are at the Hoba Meteorite site. At 1:19 I narrated that we have left Hoba and is on our way South West through the Waterberg Escarpment. At 14:29 we arrive at Kamanjab, Oppikoppi. I hope that this clears our statement and that you made an incorrect allegation.

Baie waar Nic.

We love your town. Wish we could have spend more time there.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks Rick.

Europe 2022 Part 9 Lofoten Ressoystraumen brua to Moskenes. We had to do some edits on it before release. Thanks for watching.

@@nomadz-wheretheroadtakesus Ive enjoyed watching the Namibian and the Europe trips. how about advising the costs and the processes involved in getting the truck across?

Thanks Rick.

Its our pleasure

WE loved it.

Thank you very much.

Hello Kobus, ons camper is 3,56m

3,56mX8,2mX2,65m

Baie dankie. Ons sal weer nuwes begin pos. Ons is tans in Nordkapp, Noorwee

Glad you enjoyed it

The skeleton trip you have to stay on the road, and you have to exit the same day. There are organised trips, but expensive. On the salt road, its the same as asphalt/tar. You can keep your tyre pressures as normal. When driving sand, I take my pressure down to 3bar, or even lower if the sand is deep. Remember that I drive a 10t truck camper. (this road can be done with a 2x4)

The tyres were 3 bar. Normally 7 bar. Yes I could have gone lower, but the dry sand was only 3cm thick. Underneath was wet sand. So we decided that it is not worth it.

That is true, but we wanted to do the Schlucht. The width of the vehicle was a bigger problem as she scratched a lot.

I see its called Bushmans Valley on Google Earth. There was a sign that said Bobbejaanskloof. So look for Bushmans Valley.

Will do that. Good idea. Just don't like to be in front of the camera

Was lekker om saam met julle te ry so in die gemak van my sitkamer. Gebruik die drone meer om omgewing uit die lig te bespied

Welcome aboard!

Yes but its quite expensive and you cant camp.

Thank you very much. I have lived in Saudi Arabia for 6 years. In Riyadh. Lived at Ranco Village Compound off Khurais Rd.

Thank you very much for your comment. The sound or voice was added afterwards as an afterthought, as neither of us wanted to provide commentary. I assume we have to get use to commentating and we shall do better.

Opuwo is in the malaria area, However, I belief that you would be quite safe in July or August as it is the dry season.

Our pleasure!
