Dear All
Not too sure whether you have received the link to our first blog for this trip and so I am sending it out again. Apologies if you have already received it!
Well we are now packed and ready for our next big trip which starts tomorrow.
Firstly we will be flying via Dubai to Cape Town where we are staying for 5 days sightseeing, then catching the Rovos train which is South Africa's equivalent to the Orient Express. We will be travelling up to Pretoria then continuing on to Livingstone in Zambia which in all will take 6 days on the train. We then spend a couple of days at Victoria Falls then onto Chobe National Park for some game watching. We will fly down to Johannesburg for an overnight stay before continuing on to Mauritius for a week of sun, sea and relaxation in the Indian Ocean.
We then fly back home on 19th November to get repacked and ready to fly out to Tenerife on 1st December.........it's a hard life being retired!
Hope you enjoy our blogs and photos along the way.
Love to you all
Mary & Barry xx

Zoe Leyland Mary Mary! Lovely to hear from you! Your trip sounds amazing! I am so very jealous. It would be nice to try and catch up with you when you're back, albeit briefly, in November. Leanne and I were only talking about getting together with you. In the meantime, safe travels and lots of pics please! xx
Chrissie Have a really wonderful time and look forward to seeing you both in December xxx Chrissie
Tony Orme So you haven't left the UK yet but have posted a spectacular photo of an amazing gorge...........if you have views like this in Wilmslow, why are you going so far on holiday ? Seriously, have a fab time and, when you are in Mauritius, look out for Aberystwyth University's latest campus.......in the centre of Mauritius island !! Lots of love Ant xx
Tony and Linda Hi Mary and Barry, Have a great trip and, if it's still open, try to get to the little cinema in Livingston; its manned by enthusiastic volunteers who will bring drinks and snacks to your seat! The falls are amazing but make sure you've got a good waterproof if you take the path that goes underneath them. Seems like AGES since we've seen you so please let us know if you're free, even for a quick cup of tea, before you head off to Spain; would be great to see you again.
Pippa Wow, can I come?!! Haha, it sounds amazing, looking forward to hearing all about it on your blog and seeing you both when you have your pit stop back here in November! Xxx
Maureen & Fred Wow! It sounds like an amazing trip! Hope you have an amazing time. Looking forward to further posts..
