The first time

8 November 2003: Departure from Africa. A special journey, due to both the overwhelming beauty of nature and the unprecedented kindness and friendliness of the locals. Dusty trip. At least once a day I found myself sighing ‘This is Africa!’ (due to inefficiency or other illogical inconvenience).
It was not love at first sight, but I have grown to love Africa deeply.
