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.

Zambia to Malawi

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...]

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 I hope that you’ve all clicked on the “RSS Feed” button on our home page, so that you’re kept informed as to when our website has been updated. That way it prevents you from having to log in unnecessarily every few days only to find that we haven’t had a chance to update the site yet!

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...]

9^th August

Gee Wiz time flies!!!!  Its been two weeks since I last updated my journal. I blame the delay due to the fact that we’ve had no internet access since the last week of July (well someone has to be blamed don’t they? J). Much has changed over the last two weeks. For one the weather has improved radically! I am now sporting a tan and the hairdryer and make-up are a long distance reminder of Cape Town (don’t worry girls, I’ve still got the hair dye!!!).

Mmm…where to begin I know not!  I need to keep you, our readers, interested in reading our website. I personally (Jane) have thought about writing from my heart, but then that would mean sharing a part of me that I’m not quiet ready to share with everyone yet (especially people I haven’t yet met, or know very well), and then again there’s humour….
