The World in Union

In the light of the worldwide shock, devastation and loss this week I felt a little self centered writing about my 'holiday' up the Garden Route which has been a lovely beach hopping experience with whale spotting, sand boarding, surfing and lagoon canoeing but not a lot of meaning. And so although there are some photos of our 3 weeks on the beach at the bottom of the page, the focus of this post will instead be on my own musings during one BazBus journey.

Howzit vriende!

Obviously we were both extremely excited to be flying to South Africa but if you asked us now whether we would do the 50 minute flight from Vancouver to Seattle for a 3 hour wait before boarding a 14 hour flight to Dubai for an 8 hour wait before boarding a 9 hour flight to Cape Town again we would definitely turn you down! As we are learning, massive slogs are probably worth it, however we were delighted to touch down in SA at 11am on Friday having started our journey on Wednesday morning. Thankfully our rucksacks had also made the mammoth journey and were arguably in a better condition than we were so our prayers had been answered and we had everything we needed to set off on our African Adventure!
