Welcome to Cape Town

Africa - here we come! We are here safely in South Africa. We saw a few whales of the coast of Hermanus - Ajay and the kids have gone to look for more.

The last few weeks have been somewhat intense - although all relative in the grand scheme of life. Anyway, the kids and Ajay are all delighted at touching down and calming down for a while. You can see the pressure is off the kids. The boys and I sat down to play Scrabble last night, and want to play again tonight. I'm amazed!

It still hasn't hit me - I think in hindsight, this has all happened very quickly. From concept to take-off, a mere 10-12 weeks. And Channel 4 only confirmed a little more than 10 days before arriving. So now wonder we're feeling a little shell-shocked!

Anyway - we're well and happy. Will walk, eat, sleep, talk and plan over the next 2 or 3 weeks. Keep in touch!

You know when an opportunity kind of lands in your lap and all you have to do is say Yes? But that Yes means venturing out on completely unchartered territory.  Does the boat get pushed out, or does it remain in the secure harbor. Well, … here we are less than two weeks away from a journey into Africa and beyond, an overland journey back to UK from Cape to Cairo and onto UK. Half of me thinks … WHAT are we doing??? .... and the other half just gleeful!! The trouble is this venture has presented us with another pile of open doors. We'd like to connect the communities in Africa with resources from 'the west'. Remind me – how long is that piece of string?
