Home sweet home
Day33-13jan-468km-Home
We arrived home on sunday afternoon to mixed emotions. We had returned home after 11000km odd solo trip around southern and east africa and had an awesome time. We are busy integrating back in cape town life with great difficulty and i am longing for our next trip.
For those of you map geeks - the garmin routes of our entire trip are transferred to a google map which i have just finished and can be found here
The photos 1845 are almost finished being sorted (75%) and should be up shortly, but the last 2 days of work hit me and i am now tired.
Till later, Brad.
