Hi, thanks for looking at our blog.
The African chapter of our trip, is now finished, we had an amazing adventure in Africa and have now returned to my home country of Australia.
One, only one of our pack is likley to make it all the way with us. Zoe, the American bulldog is currently is quarantine bound for Australia. Marea failed blood tests required for immigration. Agatha died one night before getting on the plane. Ruby went crazy and we had to commit her to a insane cat assylum. (not really about Ruby - she lives with good ol' folk in Durban)
Marea, decided to get a blood disease called ehrlichia and had to be pulled out of quarantine, unable to go to Australia, we started traveling South African again with her not knowing what we were going to do. In Cape St. Francis (where the dogs run free on clean beaches and come and go freely in and out of restaurants and shops - dog paradise) i asked the owners of 'Stix' pub if they would like another dog, they said yes. Marea stayed where she belonged, from growing up on a beach long ago in Mexico, to now retiring on another in South Africa, she found her place.
We plan to live in Australia for awhile, if you have any questions about traveling here or in South Africa feel free to contact me - dmobbsy@hotmail.com
Thanks

What do you do when you come home from 10 years travelling? Unpack, then pack up and leave again. We are going to drive around the Island.

more tips from the South Africans
1 - if goats are herded onto the road into your path, do not stop, it may be an ambush, run them over
2 - if you find a body lying on the road, do not stop, it is probably a dead body dragged out from the bush to be reused as an ambush ploy
3 - if an egg hits, splatters and dries on your windscreen you would usually, stop, get out and clean it off. Uh'huh, not in Africa, it is probably an ambush.
Not joking-we take all precautions. We are heading down the road with goat skulls stuck onto spikes on the front of the truck, a half dead guy's legs bouncing in the dirt as he holds on to the front bumper and me leaning out the window wearing a paintball mask for an egg shield. To where we are going i do not know, but i know we must go.

we are trying to get rid of the cats(re-home)before hitting the road. The dogs stay with us for now.
