About this blog

We all have hopes and dreams...for some that suffices...others need to go out and realise them..

So on the 19 April 2009 Marvin and Nicole will set out as the MANIC TRIP to drive from Cape Town to Dortmund in a LandRover Defender 110. We plan to learn loads, see loads, enjoy loads and plan less. The adventure lies in the journey and not the destination...We feel blessed and privileged to go on this journey...share part of our dream with us here.

May God bless you. Marvin and Nicole - Manic
