So, as the days are rapidly disappearing, our level of exhaustion rises, and ability to make decisions diminishes. 　No worry, we are nearly there. As long as the vehicle is packed, the rest can really go into storage at this point. Apologies, but short and sweet this week. Desperate for sleep …...

Hi all! Latest update ... enjoy! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This week I had a long chat to my dear friend, the Devon Connection, about their dream. Like us, they didn’t want to wait until retirement to pursue their dream, and so 2 years ago they starting moving towards making...

Re: Kapp2Cape - Nordkapp, Norway to Cape Agulhas, South Afri Hi all! Monday update this week, courtesy of the Bank Holiday! This has been an interesting week - being off sick has thrown me into the roller coaster ride of "hooray, this is so amazing" and " oh no, everything could go wrong"...
