    This trip would not have been possible without @Backpacker Ben who agreed to drive us on this mega journey. The driver suffers more than the passenger in terms of tiredness and in terms of being able to film for his own channel so please thank him for me by checking out his channel. It's the least we can do for making this video happen. Also anyone who puts up with me going on with myself for five days straight deserves some more views. Cheers

I have always been stricken by the North-South divide both parts having their special charms. I’ll have to come back to visit in the near future.
