Hello! Again,

Ricky B the Giraffe, my travelling buddy!
Ricky B the Giraffe, my travelling buddy!
Not much to say here just that I made my flight from London and am waiting to catch my second red-eye flight in two days to go to Johannesburg, South Africa. I've been up roughly 26 hours at this point and feel a little tired to say the least.

At this point, adding a pin on the map is like saying "Been there, done that, bought the T-Shirt!"

PS: They smoke a LOT! in this place... Not used to it anymore since Ottawa public places are now all smoke-free areas by law.

C YA!

The first of a long series of sleepless nights
Let's hope the heat doesn't prevent you to sleep as much as the busy schedule has so far!

Welcome to Africa
Martin, hope you are getting along well. Let me know the closer you get to my neck of the woods (Nairobi). Enjoy your travels .... you are living a dream that many only wish they could do. Have fun! It is good to hear about your adventures and in a way your misadventures .... it is all part of life.
