And Now

Just enjoying our last evening in Weenen sat around the fire as winter nights here are cold.  We’ve had the camping stove in the living room making pancakes around the fire so still enjoying our camping experiences till the last minute.  We return our Landrover tomorrow and start the trek back to Bermuda and the countdown to when we can plan another amazing experience in the wilds of the African bush as we are now converted to the Land Rover 4x4 roof top tent camping world.
