Drakensburg... grandiose!
... de tout capter… mais c’était peine perdue, vraiment on peut écrire et prendre des photos, mais il y une limite au médium de communication qu’on utilise, et ces médiums ne peuvent pas complètement capter la beauté devant nous…
Nous voici donc à l'Afrique spectaculaire, celle dont on nous présente parfois dans des films montrant la beauté du continent. Nous sommes aussi au pays des Zulus...

Convalescence.
Oh dear. After yesterday's mad hike we're all a bit knackered here. I've got a wildly sun burnt face and legs and a bad back. Juba's feeling the same but he's also got sore eyes as he wasn't wearing sunglasses. His son Liam has taken a day off school because he feels so burnt and tired! Ah well, everybody still thinks it was worth it so no harm done really!
