Dear Friends and fans,
Hope you are all well and taking care.
After 21 months of being on the road and crossing 20 countries, we have come to the painful decision to cut short our trip.
We have experienced generosity and love from all over the world. We really appreciate all the people that have checked up on us, hosted, warm meals, fuel.
We have been locked in Nicaragua for the last week. Our short visa validity, security concerns and heightened travel restrictions in the region are making it difficult for us to plan/continue with our travel. Borders started closing two days after we entered Nicaragua. Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala closed for all nationalities.
We have been monitoring the new developments and nothing seems to be changing especially with massive flight cancellations and government directives to close hotels/hostels
As of now: We are now looking for logistics to ship the bikes and then look for flight tickets back home to Kenya. I told the wajuajis on this thread and they refused to listen. Corona is a convenient excuse to end a journey that was doomed to fail from day one due to a shocking level of naivety and planlessness on the couple's part. I wish them the best as they relocate and pick up the pieces. Go slow on these posts. You might come out as an envious person. An envious person doesn't want others to succeed. Other people's success make him feel bad. An envious person suffers from low selfworth. Other people's failures give him a kick because the failures validate his own mediocrity and low selfworth. An envious person is a selfish person. The universe revolves around his mighty ego. To an envious person, anything that doesn't validate his opinions and needs is misguided. Envy is one of the seven deadly sins. Punishment for envy as per the scriptural literature is being trappped in freezing water. Go slow. Recognise the Kariukis' efforts and achievements inspite of the circumstances. Have never come across a normal human being who is not envious. Wengine ni excess Life is short. Live passionately.
