I am reading Rian Mansers book of his bike ride around Africa. When we flew over Cameroon and Equitorial Guinea I was in that part of the book. Now with him cycling throught Libya I read when he passed through Srte, Ghadafi's birthplace. There is just too much co-incidence here.

He started and finished in Cape Town, my hometown, how's that for coincidence? ;)

He started at the Waterfront, and he never used a headache as an excuse

How many times have you flown right over Porte Noir while reading about it in a book?, and how many times can Ghadffi be killed in Sirte. Did you ever know where Sirte was before he was killed there?

Capice?

"A coincidence is an event notable for its occurring in conjunction with other conditions."
Fo there to be a coincidence things need to coincide.
Whether it being in space ,time or place.
I knew who Gwardaffi was, but had no clue about Sirte.
The OP found uncanny similarities in what he read and experienced, for him he felt it was just too coincidental.
