blog design in progress.....


What a journey it has been. I have seen a lot, experienced more, and continue in the search for the ultimate: to be able to perceive and understand what is around us in Nature, to learn from the calmness and revitalisation one feels when in a beautiful place; or watch something that drives your soul, such as a bird. The continual ebb and flow of nature reveals no prejudice. I think we all need to observe a bird, to get some humility into humanity.

The trip of a life time has begun - I am at the airport on the way up to Johannesburg for a few days. I meet up with the rest of the members of the team at the airport on Monday on route to Maun. We get transferred to Etsha 13 which is on the far north-western side of the Okavango Swamps where we stay the night and begin the epic 140km exploration by mekoro back to Maun on the 28th June.

There are a few trajectory nerves that involuntarily give me a cold shiver at the thought of what we may come across/ experience on the trip itself and the sheer magnitude of the plan. It is un-utterable excitement I think. I am completely up for it - but there are always things that are not completely in your hands. May they be big hands that pick me out the water.. and quickly!!!!

On another note - we went to go and have a look at the where we had our wedding. Cindy and Roelou Barry have transformed it into a magnificent, palatial venue. If there are any of you out there, I mean 'any' who have friends that are getting married - this place is awesome!

How is that incredible marble floor and those chandeliers!
