Day 62 24th
We crossed into South Africa in the morning and I headed straight for the beach, the area at the front of the truck where you can lie down. I felt fine when I got up, but once again I just feel soo tired. We stopped off at Spring Bok where I went in search of my coffee fix, would you believe the only place I could get a decent …
Dear friends and family. I've created this so you can follow me on my big adventure around the world. I'll try and update it regularly, but if nothing appears for a while please don't worry I'm probably a) unable to find an internet cafe because I'm in a desert or jungle b) having so much fun I've lost all track of time only vaguely aware of the need to eat and sleep c) have found an inner zen like calm and no-longer see the relevance of technology or d) all of the above.

The adventure kicks off in Egypt, then heads to the East coast of Africa - Kenya to Cape Town. From South Africa I fly to Bangkok and explore Thailand with Charlie, Becky and McT, fingers crossed minus the riots. By September I should once again be united with family as I explore Australia with Caroline and meet the Wilkinson clan.
Anyway I hope this keeps you all entertained, and minus worry, much love me Xx

Day 45 7th July
Breakfast was simple this morning as we'd made the pancakes the night before, took a while mind twenty seven pancakes is a lot of pancakes. I somehow think cook group 1 (me, B…
Day 32 was a transit day through Mozambique and the second time I've got to bush camp (setting up the tents just off the main road, no toilets and definitely no showers). I like bush camp. It'…
I'm currently quite a bit behind on this blog so I will have to come back to this section of the trip as I'm sure you'll want to know where I actually am now as opposed to twenty odd days ago.…

Thanks so much for your postcard of the zebra! Reading your blog is far more exciting than doing any work. Make the most of all this freedom and savour every moment of these wonderful experiences you're having. I wish I was there too (with your mum). Take care and keep up the blog work so I can follow you in spirit.
Lots of love, Eleanor xx

Hi Darling,
The sun has come out and it's beginning to feel like summer. I daresay it's lovely in Zanzibar too, even in the short rains.
The nursturiams you planted are beginning to pop up all over the place, but it will be a while before they have flowers. The petunias have gone mad. I will send you some pics once I get my new camera back off Caroline. She is in Pau at the mo.
Will order the camera memory for you and send it off to Charlie.
Hope Zanzibar has turned out to be as exotic as it sounds.
Looking forward to your next installment,
Big Hugs, Mum XxX

Hi Chloe,
Sounds like it wasn't Ryanair then! Sheds are luxury in Kenya, most people live in corrugated huts! Don't forget to taste the local papaya, tastes like heaven, Kenya's coffee is pretty good, swordfish is common as sardines and you haven't lived til you relax over a Tusker beer. Indulge. Kisses Mum XxX

Hi darling,
Thought it would be nice to be the first person to post you a message.
Also thought I would try to do all the fancy stuff on the net that you expect of me and fell at the first most important hurdle. Respond to my text and it'll be sorted first thing in the morning.
It would also be great if I could think of something bright or clever to say, but stuck for witticisms. So, hope you're having fun. Kisses, Mum X
