30th Jan 09. The house is sorted at last; now we are off to South Africa. Well we have a date. Rolling on the 15th Feb. Seems like a lifetime from inception. And of course we are ready with everything done. And pigs might fly but it is all stuff that can be done as we stop for a day or so in the warmer climates. Apart from a small matter of immigration. Close to 18 months from putting the paper in and we still have not had confirmation that we have been accepted. But we can chase it when we arrive; the wheels grind slowly in Africa. Due to the weather and the forecasts we will probably use small hotels through Europe until we hit the warmer climates in south Turkey. Don’t like to camp in the frost not a lot of fun in that. So, now the adventure begins, where it ends up is anybody’s guess. If the original plan works we will arrive in SA about the same time next year then see how things develop. If good we will stay if not probably put the landy in a box and go to Aus and NZ? Whatever happens it will be warmer and different. Bob & Jackie.
5th march 2010, We went home; the current government seem to indicate they want to give everything away from them that have, to them that haven’t. Not for us. Nobody is going in with £100 to find the government give away £60 and leave them with £40. We will to sort out just what we want to do. Aus and NZ are high on the list; to drive out or ship out is the question. Sandy will be refurbished into a motor home over the next 12 months and then hopefully off we go once more.
