Counting Down the Rainy days

Hi All,

Not much to report over the last two weeks other than rain, hail, wind storms and frozen mornings. I hope the farmers don’t complain about the rain this year because I can tell you there has been plenty.

We haven’t really done much work getting ready for the trip other than continuing the difficult task of preparing finance and logistics. Modern society really has us locked up. It is no wonder we all have to work.

We’ll on a brighter note Tina has now finished work and has become a “Self Funded Retiree” That just leaves me with two weeks to go and then we will have no excuse in finishing off the 56 jobs we have on our list.

We discovered a couple of water leaks in the Caravan over the weekend but I’m not surprised if it rains hard enough and long enough I suppose we would leak too!

So next week it will be full steam ahead, well at least after a couple of days sitting around drinking home brew to excess. We must do this because we need to do some planning and all good planning is done when to much beer has been drunk.

As soon as it stops raining I will take some pictures and add them to the Blog. Expect some real exciting updates over the next few weeks prior to our trip.

We will try to catch up with as many of you as we can prior to us going on our first adventure if not we will back in SA in November.
