We are back in Japan after our summer trip. After spending the last few summers in Europe, we took a different approach and decided to visit the southern part of Africa instead. There were a few reasons: we were looking to escape the increasingly hot summers in the northern hemisphere, we thought it would be good to try some slightly more challenging areas before we got too old, and also because a cheap ticket showed up at the right time.
This trip was shorter than our usual summer trips, so we ended up packing it full of activities. As usual I wrote up a journal of how we spent our time and our impressions of what we saw. Over the next couple of weeks I’ll do my best to get these transcribed here in online form.
Once again, these journals really serve as a way to preserve our memories and aren’t written with an outside audience in mind – but if you do have any questions feel free to let me know!
