Update
from Peter and Jill, May '08-
We finally drove
down to the Cape of Good Hope almost exactly 8
months to the day since we left home in Hale Barns
to begin our memorable journey and it was with a
lump in our throats that we drove down to the
battered coastline of the Cape the official end of
our trip.
Some of our most
memoriable moments were:-
- Driving
through the desert in Sudan
- Experiencing
the beauty of Ethiopia
- Christmas in
Samburu NP, Kenya
- The riots in
Nairobi
- Rafting in
Uganda
- Getting close
to Mountain Gorillas in Uganda
- Micro
lighting/helicopter over Vic Falls, Zambia
- Driving the
Skeleton Coast
- Only 2
punctures during the whole trip
- Watching
Manchester United on t.v. in some wierd and
wonderful locations
- Making many
good friends along the way
Africa will always
hold a place in our hearts and we could well embark
on other African expeditions in the future.
The people of
Africa we met on this journey are proof that the
human spirit still triumphs over injustice and
adversity against all odds. Many have no financial
resources but were very content with their lives.
They are truly wonderful people.
Last but not least,
many thanks for all your support and encouragement
through this website and emails. We hope you enjoyed
reading our blogs and looking at our pictures. At
times messages from home and a good sense of humour
when everything around you is going wrong are the
only things that keep you sane!!!!
If any readers
fancy doing the trip we are more than welcome to
answer questions!!!!
We fly home on 13th
May 2008.
Peter & Jill
