Hello from South Africa

I am having a great time in South Africa and already have a blog started on what I've been doing here so I'm not going to tell you anything else at this stage - except that it's been so busy that I didn't get as much typed and posted as I expected.

I have just posted blogs for Madagascar, Mauritius and Seychelles. I'm not really sure they were perfect by any means but I just didn't have time for a final read through. I figured I'd better get something up there or people would be yelling at me, and since I head off to Cape Town tomorrow and leave my free computer access behind, posting won't be quite as easy there.

Egypt and Tanzania still aren't ready to go but I'll keep trying. And hopefully I'll also have South Africa finished by the time I leave. That's not until the 22nd though so don't expect if for at least a week or so.

I thought I should just add a brief bit here to say that all is well with my feet. For those of you who read the other three posts (Madagascar, Mauritius and Seychelles) before this one, you're probably wondering. For those who read this one first, you'll just have to read the other entries now to find out what I'm talking about.

I went to see a doctor once I got to Johannesburg and he sent me for x-rays. Nothing was broken so that was great. However, they suggested orthopaedic boots or ankle supports again for a while. I chose the ankle supports and that's what I am now wearing. They are much more comfortable than a boot and much less obvious. This is generally a good thing but certainly doesn't get you near as much sympathy.

Okay, that's if for this one. I'm sure you'll have more than enough trouble getting through all the others I've posted so I'll keep this one reasonably short.

Cheers!
