Hi All and Happy 2009!

We have now been back in Cape Town for about 5 weeks! We made it safe and sound - no problems, no illness, no hassles. Only 1 flat tyre, 1 speeding fine and 1 standard, run-of-the-mill fender bender. Many challenges, but these are there for a reason.

We have been so incredibly privileged to have been able to do this trip, to meet the people that we have met, seen the things we've seen, but most importantly to have learnt life lessons that have shaped us into the people we now are. This has truly been a life-changing year for us and we will be eternally grateful for it.

From a sunny, gorgeous and friendly Cape Town... a blessed and prosperous 2009 for you and your family.
