South Africa in Review
I’ve discovered the problem with blogging while we
travel. I start with the best intentions
of keeping friends and family up to date on the sights and insights of travel,
and as the trip progresses, and the pace continues, I get further and further behind. First there’s the issue of internet access,
which is always iffy and in this trip’s destination countries of Southern and
Eastern Africa downright hard to come by.
Then there’s the issue of writing the darn thing. With only one computer between us, it becomes
a bit of a wrangle over who has the rights to the computer. Usually I just give it up and play a few
rounds of backgammon on my cell phone turned game boy since our plans to get
SIM cards for the cell phones fell flat on its face when they didn’t work in
South Africa. Then I fall asleep from a
combination of sensory overload and malaria meds as Larry keeps right on
journaling into the night.
So here I am at the end of the second safari – The Best of
Kenya and Tanzania and I haven’t yet blogged the first one. I guess I’ll just plod along, and finish my
blogs sometime after we get home. But I hope I’ll have then shared a bit of
this wonderful odyssey and our insights into the countries we’ve visited.
Before I continue,
however, I want to share some of our favorite pictures of South Africa…. They
might not have made it into the blog before because I tried to choose one photo
for a topic, but they are still worthy of sharing.
