We spend all our time with friends, staying with them and at the game reserves with them. We are always far from the Berg. Glad you like this blog.

Thanks for regularly visiting my blog, I've had a period of not blogging every day which isn't like me at all. I'm trying hard to be on there more from now on! Take care.

I know I am hoping that we will get another chance to go there before travelling too far, is too much for the old bones. I have travelled from Algiers to Cape town in Africa through the Sahara, but I have only touched down in Kenya for plane refuelling. That was the days when we stopped twice to refuel between Rhodesia and London!!!!!
