12/19/2000   George   S33°57   E22°27   +8 The Car@van moves along the 'Garden Route' and the nomads turn their eyes towards endless spaces. Today, we're 'on the road'; compass pointed to East, Ben Harper in our ears, the road burns under our wheels. Roads are deserted, but services aereas give us some animation. After having the van filled up and presented our Community to a smiley pump attendant, we meet a Xhosa family. All sat around a huge table in a fast food restaurant, they keep on looking at their grandmother. On their way home, they 're going to a party for 'Big Mama's'hundred years birthday, with a hundred of friends and parents! Back on the road, we cross Canadian and Mexican landscapes, from pines to pampa. But, between deforestation, fires and wild cultures, the director of a National Park explains the ecosystem and biodiversity are seriously threatened. TIt's quite amusing to be overtaken by other vehicles: every car thanks us with its warnings. We respond with our headlights. So cool to drive in Africa! To the question:"What is your biggest dream", Team answers: Marco: buy a big motorbike Maya: a house on the sea shore Aleko: make a record Theo: when I'm 80, look at myself in the mirror and wink On the long red tracks, we meet antilopes, gryzboks, steenboks and falcons... But when Vale shouts:"Zebraaaa!", we turn the engine off and quietly enter the bush. We wait for midnight to discover the results of your vote! Be careful... we're in your hands. Important: the Team will always be on chat on Wednesdays and Sundays at 8 pm GMT. See you tonight! Guide our next steps,insert contacts & info on
