We've arrived in Cape Town and have got 5 days of relative luxury in a guest house before the camping trip begins! We've managed to convince ourselves that we should really enjoy these 5 days and have found a cinema complex that has our names all over it! Saw the Mummy film last night...which was very rubbish but exactly what we expected! (Sorry Ross and Sam...our choice of bad films even extends overseas!!!)
We spent four nights in London with Soph and Andrew before flying out, and LOVED catching up with them. Andrew arranged for us to attend a beloved QPR football match and we went out for a great meal to the Ledbury....and we certainly ate our fair share of cheese!!! I think we will be talking about that for a while. As expected lots of champagne was consumed by Soph and I, and it was great to see them both....I even enjoyed the team "run" we carried out up to Hampstead Heath!!!
We also had four nights in Devon with Anil and Emma and despite the rain it was fantastic to hang out with them again. We had a very civilised Devonshire Cream Tea overlooking the sea, a mega BBQ and steve had 3 surfs with Anil that he loved. As a special surprise day they also arranged for us to go horseriding on the Dartmore Dales which was a great experience. Steve got a whopper horse called Big Ben that was HUGE. It didn't go that fast at first but then he got given a crop and he was soon cantering across the dales..and steve ended up with very sore "bits" to prove it!!!! I forgot that the photos are on a different memory card so I'll have to upload them later on.
For now though we are off to enjoy Cape Town and get ready for the trip to start. Trying to work out what we do and don't need, and resist the urge to buy too many gadgets in the camping shops....but we like our new headtorch!!
