We haven't blogged for a while











Sorry about that. We were stuck in Brazzaville for about 10 days, much of it spent at the Angolan embassy grovelling in vain for a visa. Once they finally said no, we booked (at exorbitant expense) flights down to South Africa. We have left the car in a hotel in Brazzaville (the Hippocampe - anyone travelling through Africa overland should stay there), and have been down in the Cape for just over a week. We flew down to Cape Town and went to the Angolan embassy for a visa. The embassy in Jo'burg had already refused so it was down to Cape Town or New York. We dropped the passports off and filled in the forms last Monday, and then headed out to Paterson, just north of Port Elizabeth to stay with cousins of Rob's.


Paterson is located right in the middle of a whole load of game parks so we spent much of the week looking for animals.
