Back to the Start

Back to the same hotel the trek started from.  Capetown is in a fog and drizzing just like it was the first day.  Visted the waterfront and walked about, feels like I am in Vancouver in March.

Feel sad in a way that it is over, but it has been a wonderful experience and doing it in a tent and bus made it that much more real.

Went out for a final dinner, enjoyed African food and cheap but superb South African wines (under #20 a bottle, had some the other night for $4 per bottle).  The fellowship of the group was special, I know each of us grew from our confinement.

Bought a new camera and got some African artifacts.  My bag is getting heavy and the laundry is growing.

Ready for a restful 5 or six days on the beaches of Zanzibar before on the next leg of the pilgrimage.  Will see some serious animals in Kenya and Tanzania from what I hear.

Prison on wheels, one of my tasks was to load the foamies into the storage space every morning and unload at night. Unloading meant I could make a big pile and dive onto them (which alarmed some of my mates). This was not heavy lifting, other loaded the heavy bags into the back of the bus.
