Chomp!

Es ist so weit: Unser Mando steht im Hamburger Hafen und wartet auf die Verschiffung nach Südamerika! In diesem Vlog nehmen wir euch mit durch unsere letzten, teils stressigen Reisevorbereitungen – von wichtigen Fahrzeug-Upgrades wie dem neuen Schnorchel und der Motoroptimierung über unerwartete Reparaturen am Generator bis hin zu persönlichen Vorbereitungen wie Tropen-Impfungen und der Reisekassen-Orga.

In the Karoo there is always a windpompie holding the landscape together.

Once... we were friends. You took me anywhere. Time to let go now.

Battery hold downs: should they look like that?

Jan 11: power steering flush.
Jan 20: gas stop, hood pop, quick scan.

My battery was tipped off its tray and leaning into the radiator. No warning lights. No drama. Just a snapped ground wire and a lesson delivered in public, under fluorescent lights.

New habit: the battery wiggle check. Two seconds while the pump runs. If it moves, the hold-downs are not doing their job.

I knocked out a power steering fluid flush on the FJ and it was almost peaceful, right up until I realized I had nothing to cap the return port. Improvised. Spilled some. Learned a lot.

Two quarts later, the pump is quiet and the old fluid is out. Full how-to here: https://adventureadjacent.com/2026/01/30/toyota-fj-cruiser-power-steering-fluid-flush-how-to/

Tamboershoek: such a lovely surpise!

Welgemoed oder Rooiheuwel? Beide Gästefarmen sehen in der Tracks4Africa-App vielversprechend aus (außer, dass beide auch um Trophäenjäger als Gäste werben), beide liegen an der gleichen kleinen Hinterlandschotterpiste irgendwo zwischen dem Karoo-Städtchen Fraserburg und der Karoo-"Metropole" Beaufort-West. Bei dererlei Gästefarmen ist es ratsam, vorher Kontakt aufzunehmen. Manchmal gibt es sie gar nicht mehr. Oder sie werden gerade renoviert. Oder die Campsite ist gerade überflutet worden.

Cruising the beautiful Sabarmati Riverfront Road was a highlight of our drive through Gujarat. We crossed the historic Sardar Bridge, experienced the modern marvel of the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway, and found a fantastic non-veg feast off the highway. An incredible day of sights and flavors on the road!
