Today dawned fine and sunny. However for Jen, it didn’t matter. She was very unwell. Running a high temperature and uninterested in life. The cause, I suspect an infected Tic site that had become increasingly nasty looking and poisoning her system. On arriving home in the UK yesterday at 11.30am…
Wednesday 20th. Just a brief on the winding up of our Stage 4 Africa trip. Late in the morning, we received a message to say Poki would be ready to collect at 2pm. We had had an early lunch, which was fortunate, as the power went off at 12.30 and…
I wasn’t going to post any more blog entries as there is no benefit to anyone by just rabbiting on about nothing. However a few events have occurred which, to my mind anyway, are significant. One is that Karun at TuneServe has just confirmed that we have had a new…
Sunday I am combining 2 days, as there isn’t a lot of interest to report. On Sunday, we had to pack up a wet tent. I already had a bag of damp washing. Camping isn’t fun when it rains! We had to checkout from the camp at 10am, so really…
Today has been a sitting around day. Fine till around 1pm when a drizzly rain started. We are not used to this and wet weather shows up deficiencies in our Caranex. Tomorrow is expected to be fine but cloudy and cooler, 19degC but best of all, it’s cooler at night.…

Well, what a momentous day it’s been! At one point during the night I thought an elephant was trying to turn us over. It was just violent wind gusts and we survived. It took us longer to get packed and on the road this morning and it was back to…
First : Happy Birthday to Sarah in Whistler. Dennis’ youngest daughter. Despite a Park vehicle driving past us soon after we had parked, we had a peaceful night. I was expecting someone to come and tell us to move, but it didn’t happen. I was woken at one stage during…
The wind blew like the devil last night. The ill fitting windows rattled so little sleep was had. The morning dawned overcast and cold. Cold for Africa anyway. 17.8deg in Poki when cooking breakfast. By 9am we were visiting a supermarket to replenish supplies and then sight-seeing. Driving around Maputo…
Last night our waiter had told us the best time to see whales from the decking area overlooking the bay, was between 7 and 9 in the morning. When I asked him was type of whales they were, he replied “black whales”. So, we’ve no idea what species they are.…
