It's here! It's finally here! What started as a 'wouldn't it be nice idea' will very soon become a reality! Van is packed, car will be soon to and with all things going well, we will tonight be in SA, well on our way north. It's been an interesting week leading up to today (well, what should originally have been tomorrow - but we decided to leave a day early cos we could).
