Meet Ricky
We met a fellow Cape Townian (Ricky De Agrela) in the internet cafee tonight and had a bit of a chat about travelling. On the way out, he gave us the address of his web site. I have just visited it and am amazed and inspired. What an amazing guy.
In 2004, Ricky did a mammoth trip accross the world in a microlight. His friend who was with him crashed and was killed. He managed to continue and thus established the record for the longest Microlight expedition in the world. His book about the trip will be published in July.
Now he is riding a bike from the tip of South America to the USA, a 20,000 km journey, on a small Honda. He has a blog of his adventures.
To top it all, his beneficiary is Red Cross who mum works for.
What an amazing guy and we did not even know it - although he did seem extremely nice. And to tip it off, he is a Cape Townian. Go Ricky. Thanks for the inspiration.
