Thursday, 24th November. Poki is back!

On Tuesday we went to collect Poki from Rotterdam. It all went very smoothly, although it almost didn’t. Dennis had set his phone alarm for 4am. It didn’t go off. Very fortuitously Dennis woke at 4.30. Our taxi to take us to Gatwick AIrport was due at 5. It was…

Friday 17th November. Wineham. West Sussex.

We can now report that the Santa Clara has berthed at Rotterdam. Arriving on the 13th due to both a late departure from Durban and storms in the north Atlantic. Poki is now on Terra Firma. We’re off to Holland We were probably a little over optimistic to expect the…

Sunday, 29th October, 2023. In Wineham, West Sussex, U.K.

For the last few days the weather has been abysmal. Heavy rain with thunder at times. Hence we are confined to barracks and it is a good opportunity to update you on Poki and future travel arrangements.  Poki’s progress. Poki is at last on the high seas. The Maersk, Santa…

Thursday 19th October. Arundel, Sussex.

While there is not much happening in our immediate world, there have been massive developments elsewhere. Firstly and vitally, we have a new government in New Zealand, not Aoteora. The previous administration were trying to foist on us inhabitants, without a moments consultation, a new name. The arrogance. There were…

Tuesday, 17th October. Wineham, West Sussex, U.K.

Update on the unknown insect bite? Amputation didn’t take place..:) 2 weeks of antibiotics appear to have worked. The NHS was incredibly thorough. After my visit to A &E, I had a call from the Infectious Diseases Department at the Royal Sussex County Hospital in Brighton, asking to see me.…

Monday 25th September. Wineham West Sussex. UK.

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…

Days 272/273. Wednesday, 20th and Thursday 21st September, 2023. At our self catering cottage in Kloof.

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…

Day 271. Tuesday 19th September. Kloof, Durban. S.A.

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…

Days 269/270 Sunday and Monday 17/18th September. From Bluff Campground to The Cottage, Kloof.

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…

Day 268. Saturday 16th September 2023. Bluff Camp Ground, Durban. South Africa. End mileage 214723

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.…
