Full Circle

Dar es Salaam to Johannesburg via Malawi, Mozambique and Zimbabwe:  3,500km over 6 days, 12 hours a day. What a mission, but we hit Pretoria bang on time, under budget and with nerves and relationship still intact. Medals for all.

But it's amazing to finally stop here at Simon & Helen's gated fortress - sleep properly, eat well, improve hygiene. Fingers crossed for the car sale this week, and then one last holiday before home.

This was the final adventure we needed. It feels like we've closed a chapter, said goodbye to the bakkie and seen Africa one last time - the decision to drive was 100% right. In your face Dar es Salaam.
