Firstly, some intros. Uli & Anka are based in Midrand and drive a charcoal Land Cruiser named Konstantin. They, if you have been concentrating whilst reading the previous postings, left on 2 June form the southern most point of Africa, L'Agulhas, and their trip is planned for 7 months. Lorna and I ( Marc) will depart from Pennington on the Natal coast on 20 June, traveling first to Johannesburg to say our good byes and then leaving on the 23rd so that we are in time to meet U & A on the 2 July in Iringa, Tanzania. Our adventure is for 5 months and we drive an, as yet unnamed white Cruiser. Help please!!!
So why write a blog? Obviously its the 'modern' way to record our travels so that when we are really old, grey and decrepit we have something to read. Its allows friends, family & creditors, to see that we are still alive and kicking. But for us there is a far more compelling reason. Picture this......................the same 4 people chatting around a campfire every evening drinking the occasional schnapps. There is a distinct possibility that stories are going to be repeated. We are going to need outside interaction and this is where YOU come in. We need you all to add to our experience by commenting, asking questions or just letting us know you are OK. To this end we have made provision at the end of each posting for comments, please use it. By the the way, this is Africa so do not expect an immediate reply. To be strictly correct, this is Africa.............. do not expect a reply.
Finally, each post will be signed by the postee and posts made are not necessarily the opinions of all members of the blog.
Jokes aside, we are doing the trip but you guys will add to it greatly, and you have a broadband connection and we will be suffering with a steam driven modem, so give us a hand.
Marc
