Well it's just over 2 weeks until we go now. Pete and I have been getting everything together over the past couple of weeks and just secured our accommodation in Johannesburg (more than 2 months after we started looking!)
After looking at what seems hundreds of hostels all over South Africa and Australia it seems we might be getting somewhere, let's just wait and see.
Now it's time to spend some money, backpacks, towels, sleeping bags, batteries, cameras, memory cards, shoes, shorts, sunglasses to just name but a few, not to mention to ever important bottle opener!
It's a weird concept to think what we are about to set out on, 2 months before we see anyone we know, and then a further 4 until we get home again to the comforts and quality of living we have become accustomed to over the past 20 years or so.
But of course, for all the apprehension and indecisiveness we may encounter over the next couple of weeks, it's virtually impossible to not be overwhelmed by the excitement of it all and knowing that for all the months we've been scrimping and saving is going to let us explore parts of the world many have never been lucky enough to explore.
So Cape Town it is, 2 weeks and one day, itinerary planned, activities paid for and most of our things bought we certainly have thought this through. But for all the planning in the world I can't help thinking we're about to embark on an adventure which will open our eyes to things we can't book, buy or ever imagine.
