Currently in South Africa – on a dialup hence no pictures. Really having a lovely time with my family. It’s a funny old place – quite tropical really… but so sad in a way…
See there’s a pretty major disparity between the Have’s and the Have Nots.. fences everywhere and lots of crime. It’s sad really as it just shows how desperate some peoples lives are.
I think the biggest example (to me) was that we chose to do a different hike than that of hiking up Table Mountain because recently there have been quite a few muggings on the mountain. When the ability for anyone to freely go and enjoy a natural place is compromised – that seems to me to be a very sad thing – especially when it is accepted.
Other than that – all good. Reading lots, writing a little, eating far too much and generally enjoying myself. Which was quite needed actually – as after the events of the last couple of months I found myself quite drained and in need of a family induced recharge :)
