And so, to sum up ....

A marvellous tour, encompassing masses of what Africa has to offer. Very much of what I saw was utterly magnificent, mainly the geography of the continent and the wildlife. Some was less wonderful, for example the stark contrast between the haves and have-nots in the more prosperous regions. The individual highspots have been in the hundreds, and it would be completely impossible to select one, so the final photograph (courtesy of Helen) is to be exactly the opposite, the afternoon the deluge came to Hobas Camp, Fish River Canyon.

The very last word, though, has to be to praise the crew, Maryke, Gary & Mike for their humour, skills, fortitude and dedication to ensuring that the trip delivered what the brochure promised. It certainly did that, and more.

01.02.2015 : Day +2

I have to wonder if there is a great lot of point in blogging on, as these final few entries are certainly going to get a touch samey. I added the few days onto the end of AiF in order to cycle the cape a little, so all will essentially read the same.

The only differences from yesterday are :

a) I reset the saddle, so bum now OK, although bruised from yesterday;
b) I rode the quieter city streets today, taking advantage of it being a Sunday;
c) I hit a faulty storm drain cover and damaged the rear wheel, so...
d) I tinkered with it to get it OKish for tomorrow;
e) I returned to lime, following my excursion to caramel yesterday.
