    Today our last day here before taking off for Joburg at ten past midnight tonight to arrive there at 7.00am after +12,5 hours in the air - it's going to be a long night.
    It's been a fantastic holiday all thanks to Madeleine who arranged everything and often stood in to pay for us when we couldn't - credit/debit cards are not widely accepted and nether is cash.
