Hi all.
It’s been quite a long time since we posted anything… we’ve basically just been bumming around in parts of Africa and France for the last couple of months and haven’t got around to writing anything till now.
We decided that rather than boring everyone with long blog entries we’d just post a few photos. Our first album can be found here. These photos are from the two weeks we spent in Tanzania after we’d finished volunteering. The first few are from Stonetown in Zanzibar which has a really cool North African feel (as well as being the birthplace of Freddie Mercury). The rest of the album has photos from the four safari parks that we visited in Tanzania. Our favourite is Tarangire – the boabab trees there were spectacular, some of them were three thousand years old – amazing!
The next album is from when we met up with Al and Maha in South Africa and Kenya. You can see this album here. We started off in Cape Town, where the highlight was watching Germany play Argentina in a World Cup quarter final (six rows from the front). Then we hit the road for a trip along the Garden Route to Port Elizabeth, staying in a few beautiful towns along the way. Finally, we headed to Kenya where we were lucky enough to catch some of the Great Migration. Although it was pretty impressive, we did spend many hours waiting for the animals to cross the river, amusing ourselves by giving the zebras Mexican accents and having them quote Braveheart speeches – maybe you had to be there. ..
We then said goodbye to Al and Maha and headed to France. You can find photos from this leg here. We’ve made a concerted effort not to include too many pictures of food – given that eating and drinking has taken up a lot of our time in France, this was harder than you’d think. We started in Paris and had a great time getting to know the city through walking tours. It sounds lame, but we thought the tours were brilliant – maybe we’re showing our age. After a couple of weeks in Paris, we picked up our zippy Citroen C4 and started a five week driving holiday. We’re currently in Provence – we have a couple of weeks left in France and then it’s off to Berlin.
That’s it from us for now – we hope this finds you all well, and look forward to hearing your news.
Love,
Anne and Max xoxo
