We have landed safely after a very long flight. The Landy is still stuck in a container somewhere in the English Channel. Its been great relaxing with family and enjoying the sun.
We have been looking at overland stores here. We were shocked at how expensive overland kit is here compared to the UK. The Uk is cheaper on almost everything, even if you take into account the weaker pound/stronger Rand.
All we have to do now is chill and wait for the Landy.

A race around the world
We handed our Landy and all our worldly possessions over to the good chaps at Wentworth International Movers about 4 weeks ago now. When we booked it all in we had no idea which would land first. Us, or the Landy. Our Landy has only made it to Felixstowe docks. That's like taking 4 weeks to get from Earls Court to Heathrow. The ship is only set to leave for SA tomorrow. We fly to Cape Town two days later. It looks like we will win the race hands down. Our landy should roll off the docks on the 11th of Jan. The guys at wentworth have been very helpful and I highly recommend them. They have been very polite to respond o my constant phone calls asking where is Landy now?
The coolest part of the whole shipping process is the ship its going on - massive!
