We're Back!

Another trip, another blog.


Back by popular demand, we will be blogging our upcoming trip to Southern Africa. After encountering some technical flaws in the Cuban internet, we have done a bit of technology prep work for this trip and should be able to make it blogtastic.

The plan so far:
We fly to Schiphol in Amsterdam, for a 24 hour layover. Best we can figure, that should be just enough time to get the vibe of Amsterdam, without any time to waste in museums...

The next day, we fly to Johannesburg, South Africa. From there, we will work our way down to Lesotho, entering from th3 west and driving through the highest pass in Africa to drop back into South Africa around Durban.

Once out of the mountains, we will wander north of Durban, up the Elephant Coast, to hopefully spend Xmas around the Holiest of all places: the border of Mozambique.

Things get less certain after this, we will either pass through or skirt around Swaziland, en route to Gabarone, the Capital of Botswana, and up to the Kalahari or the Okavango, depending on where the water [and therefore the animals] are.

We have a month to get back to Jo'berg once we arrive, so we don't know what will be filling our time, and emptying our bank account.

We are almost prepared for departure... but I'm not sure I am ready. I’ve read Joseph Conrad.
