Like all good things in life, everything comes to an end, and so it is the case with Dizzy2, Slug and myself. While our trip through Africa has run its course our lives and ambitions have not. Dizzy2 is parked in Durban waiting for any keen buyers to snap her up on another journey, while Slug reflects on his life and dream to visit Vietnam and Cambodia early next year, and I sit in the UK on a journey over the next few months to visit various countries throughout Europe and anywhere else my heart leads me to. Our website remains operational as new adventures and photos will be included over the next few days. Keep logging on for all our new news and updates.

I know, I know, I know….but if the bridge is ready (should have been completed by the 6th Sept) then we can enter into Tanzania this way and still get the benefit of seeing Moz (which everyone keeps raving about!).  Bad internet connections (as well as exceptionally slow), have prevented us from more frequent access. My journal is up to date but I cant get info from my laptop onto the web so these couple of senses will have to suffice until we get better internet access. Will update hopefully next week with tons more photos.

Apologies, apologies, apologies….Im so behind on my journal!  Right, where did I leave you last….oh yes, we were on our way to Chimfunzi. Well, we arrived at the chimp orphanage and I was very disappointed to find out that the public are not allowed access to the chimps at all – no touching, [read more...]

13^TH AUGUST 2009 – KATIMA MULLILO > LIVINGSTONE - ZAMBIA

THE ROAD FROM KATIMA MULLILO INTO THE TOWN OF LIVINGSTONE IS DRIVABLE. VILLAGE DWELLING DOT THE HORIZONS AS FAR AS THE EYE CAN SEE. ECONOMIC DECAY AND POVERTY IS SO APPARENT WITH MANY OF THE VILLAGE PEOPLE SURVIVING ON FOOD AID PROGRAMS PROVIDED BY RELIEF ORGANISATIONS FROM ACROSS THE WORLD. THESE PEOPLE DON’T LIVE THE DAY, THEY SURVIVE THE DAY AND PRAY TOMORROW WILL BRING THEM A NEW DAY OF HOPE AND FREEDOM – “WELCOME TO AFRICA” [read more...]

21^st August

Its one day prior to us expecting the modem back from SA – cant wait! This will enable us to have more accessibility to the internet by being able to use our local sim cards - which means that we can keep our website up dated and keep in touch with all our loved ones.

Our last day in Livingstone is therefore put aside to enable us to get our “house” issues in order. We start by dropping into Harry’s place to confirm that we’ll be back at his place at 4pm (he’s going to solder some loose connections on Dizzy2, and he needs her for about an hour), and then we head into Livingstone to drop off our laundry at the local launderette.

Well we’re out of Namibia and now in Zambia. Before we left Namibia we stayed in Halali, which is a resort within Etosha National Park. We managed to see elephant, giraffe, zebra (see our gallery) and Slug even managed to see lion and rhino at an evening watering hole that I didn’t get to visit (just my luck!). [read more...]
