Leaving at Last

Hi,
Been a bit slack with the posts this last week but there hasn't been much to say. The van is at last being reassembled and we should be on the road this morning. They just have to take it for a test drive.
The break has been quite enjoyable, it may put us back a week or so on our intended return to AU but I don't think that is a problem. We haven't booked the van onto the boat yet although I have been getting quotes. The service to AU from Durban is a weekly one which means we can be flexible.
The apartment we have stayed the last 4 nights has wireless but only on the balcony, nice to sit out here overlooking a railway track which has a continuous stream of people walking on. Much easier than walking on a busy road where footpaths are usually unformed, rough and muddy when it rains. The gradient is much easier as well. The track is raised in front of us so when a train comes along, which is quite frequently, the people have to move down the embankment a bit and hold on. Inconvenient but worth it.
We have been ale to catch up with world news while here, strange after not knowing what's been happening for so long.
All the best
Gary
