Home time

January 24th, 2007 Comments(2)

We’ve been in Africa for a month now.  We’ve seen family and friends, been exploring, met interesting people, travelled around, seen big animals, rowed, sailed, lazed about on the beach, learned, snorkelled, and done a whole lot of cool stuff.  I have put a few photos up on flickr here, and will probably put some more up when we get home.  Now it’s time to get back to doing stuff.  And I’m looking forward to it.  2007 is going to be a great year all-round.  We fly out tomorrow night 6pm Central African Time and will be back home by about 6pm Eastern Standard Time.  The boys only went to sleep at about 10:00 pm so it’s going to be an interesting day – hopefully they pass out on the plane :)

Still alive

We’re still alive.  We’ve just come back to Johannesburg from a week at a resort in Mauritius.  We’re talkign about the sort of place where they clean your sunglasses for you while you drink cold beer at the pool.  We had lots of fun, and the rescue boat had to retrieve Ethan and me only once in the whole week.  that was our sailing adventure :)

Will write more in ten days when we’re back in Sydney
