    Hmmmm, interesting. She was obviously raised in a vineyard. Sounds like a few chilled glasses will be her constant companions. Looking forward to hearing from her. 🍷🍾😱😍

    Hopefully not too often, it's really tiring inflating her just so that she can say something

Waiting game

The wheels of bureaucracy turn very slowly in Africa. The hurdles, hoops & unexpected donations have been extensive. We now believe that we are on the final, final, final stretch with the finish line in sight. And so we wait. Impatiently.  The Mozambican work permits are expected mid/end January. I can still be contacted on Whatsapp & email, am off Facebook for now but am still available on Messenger.  Wishing everyone a happy and festive Christmas! Come on Santa, weave your magic with the Mozambican authorities.

This is when I realised what it means to come from Africa. Africa is in your heart and pulses through your veins. It is in your spirit and sits deeply in the seat of your soul.

This blog is an account of our overland trip up through Africa, a planned year-long journey to our final destination, the Netherlands. So while we are leaving family and friends be...

Retracing steps

Part of the journey has been to look for work opportunities en route. Hospitality, one of the avenues we were exploring, has been decimated by Covid and while there are signs of improvement and recovery, nothing happens quickly in Africa.  I believe that in life you create your own opportunities. One of my favourite Oprah-isms is: "Luck is when preparation meets opportunity".  We believed that an opportunity existed in Mozambique and decided to pursue it. Fortune favours the brave. For my sins (and there have apparently been many), I had to travel Mozambique's challenging roads again. We left Tanzania and headed south back into Mozambique, travelling 10 to 12 hours a day, for 3 full days, back to a concession a few kilometers south of the Zambezi River. We put together a proposal which has been accepted and all the signs are very promising. We are currently cutting through all the bureaucratic red tape and jumping through all the necessary hoops in order to ge...
