Well that about rounds up the trip – the most amazing holiday I’ve ever had and one that I wouldn’t have missed for the world. In the beginning when I was first invited to Karl’s wedding I immediately thought that I couldn’t possibly accept as it was in South Africa, I didn’t decline the invite and in the back of my mind I’d probably already decided to go. This was an opportunity of a lifetime, to see the marriage of a friend and to see a part of the world I might otherwise have never seen, when these opportunities come up you just have to take them.
I have a lot of people I would like to thank for this trip – first of all Karl who is the reason I went in the first place, I wish him all the best in his marriage; I would also like to thank James for coming with me and putting up with me for two solid weeks – a good test of a friendship and I think we both passed. I also have to thank Ann in Port Elizabeth and Anne & Bill in Johannesburg for giving us a place to stay and giving us a chance to meet genuine South Africans, it really gave us a different perspective on life in South Africa both on a personal and a political level, I would also like to thank Anthony for showing us some good places to get drunk in Johannesburg. Finally I would like to thank everyone we met along the way in hotels, bars, restaurants and not forgetting the stewards and stewardesses on the planes.
