After New Year, we headed down in convoy to Johannesburg from Harare - a very long, hot, dusty trip, not improved by the lack of a radio and air-con in the car I traveled in. Spent a night in Joburg and then headed straight down to coast to visit my folks.
Spent a couple of weeks in Richards Bay in the end. Was supposed to head back to Botswana in early January to finish up the project there, but had a miscarriage the day before I was supposed to fly. Was 10 weeks into my pregnancy. It was all very scary and awful, made worse by Ian already being in Botswana, with no phone or Internet at the time. Anyway, that was a while ago now, and we seem to have bounced back just fine from it all. Certainly not an experience I'd like to go through again though!
So I got back up to Botswana a bit later than planned, just in time to get the project finished up and get ready to head to Namibia. It was really good to get finished in Botswana - it felt like the right time to move on.
