Cape Town


Finally a few days (weeks?) at home under the mountain, knuckling down to stories on car hire and coffee. It's good to be still again, though it does take some getting used to - I keep cramming enormous amounts of stuff into a single day subconsciously believing I'm off in a few days. Next on the agenda is Lake Victoria in February if the Kenyans shift themselves.

Graaff-Reinet after the storm







Graaff-Reinet after the storm chasing (pics 1. Pic 2 is the church in Willowmore). Day two as frustrating as it gets; bad light, bad attitudes, sore thumb, hot as Hades. And white wheels...

Richmond, AA Traveller




The year begins on the run; Richmond in the Karoo, then Graaff=Reinet, George and hopefully Lake Victoria. Richmond is about bookshops and the Boer War, with Deelfontein a real surprise. I drove with John to the war hospital which looks like it will soon be rubble.
