Private Notes
The second leg of Simon King and David Myers' tour of Namibia finds them on the trail of the Himba, one of the last remaining nomadic tribes in the world. They also encounter the local wildlife, enjoy a breakfast of fried ostrich eggs and try their hand at the local sport - long-distance spitting.
Simon and David begin a journey along the Namibian coast, taking a trip in a microlight and sampling traditional and Bavarian food. They also catch crayfish to cook in a rock salt tandoori and a local guide offers to take the pair on an unusual journey.
Simon King and David Myers travel to the Isle of Man, transporting their bikes by catamaran and preparing crab souffles and sea bass on the voyage. On arrival, they encounter the Loaghtan sheep and prepare a feast of lamb and scallops on the beach for the other competitors.
Simon King and David Myers take a trip to Ireland, where they swap their trusty bikes for a horse-drawn carriage and sample oysters from the Carlingford beds. They also prepare a selection of traditional dishes, but struggle to find the secret of the perfect Irish stew. Fortunately, chef Neven Maguire and members of the travelling community are on hand with cooking tips.
Smon King and David Myers take a trip through Romania, exploring Bucharest's markets and eating pancakes on the roof of the Ministry of Finance. They also examine sculpture by Constantin Brancusi in Targu Jiu and visit the imposing Corvin Castle, where they cook pork sarmales by the drawbridge.
Simon King and David Myers meet a woman who makes chicken noodle soup by royal appointment, and prepare chicken paprikas and spaetzles in the hills. They then head north for the Ukrainian border, where they sample Romanian sausages and ewe's milk pudding.
