On the 8th of September, just over one year later we arrived back on 'solid ground'. Staying with my brother's wonderful family with all their love and care. The Middle East and Europe were significantly easier than Africa. We were sad to finish such an amazing year. The kids on the other hand are basically relieved and delighted to be here!
I've included a fb quote from MaryBeth and the after-school centre where we spent three weeks in Namibia. Thank you everyone for all the stationary, books, rugby boots, first aid kits and toys that were collected. Unfortunately the boxes sponsored by ReLocasia, our shipping company arrived too late to get filmed. However we know everything will be used, re-used, recycled and then passed on to someone else ... so thank you for all your generosity.
so glad you are home safely! now you can pack up and come back to visit us again! make NAMIBIA your home!!! :) we are still making good use of all the goodies you shipped to namibia in those 12 boxes!! thanks for your love and generosity!! xoxoxoxoxo mb :)

We did a very similar trip in 2007 with our two kids (opposite direction - www.2c2k.net). In fact, twentytwentyTV contacted us to try to fnd another family to film. We were a bit sad watching the programme last night because it appeared like Ethiopia got too overwhelming for you all. Anyway, glad you got home safe and well.
Thanks guys for taking the time to comment. Yes -Ethiopia was a low point sadly, esp southern. But the rock churches were great - then we all loved Sudan. Jordan was a treat because of the Jordanians, Syria, Turkey ... lovely places. But the film crew left us in S. Ethiopia. Theirs is a spiced version of events. And has prompted me to creat our own 49 min dvd instead!
Wow, what an inspiration you are. Loved the show and glad to have found your blog.
Thanks for sharing your awesome adventure.
