... which to eveyone,s surprise went really well and we have now booked hotels in Cape Town, Misna and a 3 day safari. We travel on friday 13th November and I have just booked our Heathrow airport Parking <br>Can't believe how the pound as fallen in value. Just ordered our SA rand, this time last year over 16 to the pound now just over 12, that is some drop. Not long to go now<br>

I begin to wonder what mad journeys we&#8217;ll be having in Bolivia and Peru, and the people we&#8217;ll meet on our way through South and Central America. <br><br>There is light at the end of the tunnel.
