Love this picture - so close yet so far away. This is that phase when everything is ready and I am just sitting and waiting. It is pretty damn hot in Gibraltar at the moment and I am still getting my head round the idea that it will be a heck of a lot cooler in South Africa. Time to break out the woolly jumpers!
Tuesday is leaving day and I will catch a train at 8am from Algeciras to Madrid, find myself a nice cheap place to sleep and try to mentally prepare for a 30 hour trip of which 20 or so hours are in an aluminium tube - yay! I have a full series of Chuck that needs watching I guess and maybe Lord of the Rings is stashed somewhere. . .
The plan is to stay in Capetown about 4-5 days before I head on east. There will be a few days of getting my bearings and some cash. Before I leave I will of course have to watch the Liverpool vs Arsenal game on the 15th after which it will probably be time to head off up the coast.
