A charity tour for orphan children

Trudy and Dirk Regter from the Netherlands go on a world tour in a 1915 Ford Model T, covering all continents of the world. They are making this trip with the aim of raising money for orphans worldwide.

To date, they have driven 64,000 miles across 31 countries and have raised more than $45,000 spent on children's projects in Colombia and Bolivia. An earlier trip by Dirk in 2007 from Beijing to Paris in the Model T raised more than $140,000, of which 2 children's projects were built in Mongolia. The last part of their world tour,about 10,500 miles, takes them back home to the Netherlands via Asia. If you support the purpose of this journey, you can take ownership of some of these 10,500 miles of this final leg.

Buy your miles and thus contribute to a better future for orphans.

    November 9th – day 141

    Friday 09 November

    During the night a group of wild dogs hunted a Kudu. They chased it trough the reception, you can still see the scratches on the floor.

    It’s a very nice game view, some elephant wants to chase the dogs away, it works for 3 minutes, and then they are back again. But he doesn’t give up.

    A couple of days ago there was an elephant fight, one lost a piece of tusk, it is still at the reception, when you hold it it’s incredibly heavy.

    At 15:00 we arrive in Francistown, it’s a very big busy city.

    We discuss the timetable, it’s too early to stop now, we go further in the direction of Palapaye.

    The temperature is low, in the Model T isn’t even cold. So you need the full Ford Tenue.

    The Ford likes this low temperature, and runs very good. With the speed of 80 the engine still stays under the 100degrees.

    At 18:15 we arrive in Palapaye, during the beer we calculate the distance of this day.

    418km!!! That’s a new record!!

    In the bar the speaker with the microphone recognise us, we get a drink for free.

    Tonight it is karaoke night, and there is a Pool table in the bar. Wow what a beautiful end of the record day!

    Tomorrow we go to do the Botswana-South Africa border
