After much crazed packing, organising and last minute work on Michael's brakes, we have left JHB (6th Jan)and are on route to Cape Town. As we drove across a rain-soaked South Africa, with space stretching out in every direction, the excitement continued to increase. The thought of having space, space and more space for 6 months is amazing and we feel so blessed to be able to embark on this adventure. In the build-up to leaving Jozi, we were blown-away by the excitement and encouragement of our friends and family. We were showered with sms's, phone-calls, good-bye visits, handy gifts for the trip, books to read, as well as delicious Indian food brought to us the night before our departure. We are so lucky to have such wonderful people in our lives, we love you guys!!
At the last minute, we decided to split the journey in two, which turned out to be a very good idea. We stayed over in Hanover, at Hanover Lodge and Hotel... i know, the city-slicker in us is still very much around. After a long sleep and a great breakfast we were on the road again to CT.
CT holds some family time as well as a few more last minute to-do's. We hope to head off to our first border-crossing in Namibia by Monday the 10th January.
