May 5, 1994 Nkhata Bay: Cycling Capetown to Nairobi.

We are awakened by the cook and a porter who gives us all a hot cup of coca tea (pretty tasty when they make it). They just throw some coca leaves in a cup of boiling water, the brew turns a little yellowish and tastes weak. No strong effects induced by coca though! https://www.cycleblaze.com/journals/racpatsouthamerica1999/day-196-day-two-inca-trail/

May 5, 2007. Today we set off again, down the Friendship Highway towards Kathmandu. Today is also 14 years since we met near Nelson New Zealand and 12 years since Patrick flew to Chicago with his bike and one suitcase to meet up again with Rachel. https://www.cycleblaze.com/journals/balitoboise/free-camp-up-kampa-la-hotel-owner-gives-us-a-khata/

May 5, 2016, "We must temper our tantrums about the traffic" Rachel says. We have the same today while on the main road, almost no construction, the road is still lined with beautiful big trees. These will come out when the "4 laning work" begins in this section. A few small towns are being demolished. https://www.cycleblaze.com/journals/racpatrtw/to-najibabad-first-rain-in-a-long-time/

May 5, 2017. Today is the 24th anniversary of the day we met just outside of Nelson New Zealand. We were each on an independent biketrip. Navigating out of Zaragoza was tricky. https://www.cycleblaze.com/journals/racpatrtw/to-caucasia-we-were-promised-flat-asphalt-roads-on-our-aniversary/

Rachael AndersonHow great! After reading your post, it got Scott and I reminiscing about how we met in September 1987 although we forgot exactly when.
