Important Newsflash 2! 20/06/2011

It seems like our return home will be short lived. Despite enjoying the comforts of home we have realised that we are missing the bikes and the open road. Therefore we have decided that we will return to Africa to complete the journey sooner rather than later.

We will be flying to Nairobi, Kenya to restart our cycling adventure on June 25^th 2011. Our proposed route is as follows: Kenya, Tanzania, Malawi, Zambia, possibly Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia, South Africa – Capetown then along Garden Route and up to Johannesburg to fly home.

Through his friend, Jamie, Matt found work at a local joinery firm and has been working very hard since we got back, topping up the funds for part two of our adventure. Despite not always being the most exciting work, he has had a enjoyable time and would like to thank Ian, Roger, Bob and Adam for making me welcome. Cheers guys I will see you when I get back assuming Kenny is not right about the Mungiki tribe!

With Matt working, Debs put on her travel consultant hat and found a very good deal with Virgin Atlantic airlines, with the added bonus that they will fly the bikes for free!

Debs spent a very enjoyable week on her parent's narrow boat 'The Puzzler' in Ireland. They moved the boat to the Emerald Isle two months ago and are really enjoying life over there. On the way back to Norfolk, she stayed in Cambridge for a few days and had a great time catching up with old friends.

A positive note about being home is that we have had the tent zips repaired under warranty, hopefully they will last a bit longer this time.

Hope you enjoy following our continuing adventures towards South Africa.
