Not so far from the East coast of Australia, and Perth is a good stopping point for Africa, we flew that way last time we visited SA. See…thinking, always thinking!

;-)))
Do go to Namibia, preferably in the off-season! I think Botswana must be awesome too.
We’ve been to South Africa several times. It’s very different and it can be hard to mix with the local (black) people, as there is still quite some mistrust, depending on where you are going. But, honestly, I think everyone should get acquainted with the history of apartheid, and its consequences.
The Galapagos … it’s a loooong way to go! But that wouldn’t scare you off, would it! Don’t think you would take your Lego there, though.

We HAVE to do more Africa soon and Namibia is top of the list! Jealous. Also the boys are now begging for the Gallapagos after watching a documentary. We’ll see. It’s very sad to leave Breb, yes, but it was time to go. We were bored. But I’m missing those wonderful people, I can see their faces in my head. Are we shifting to Australia…we don’t know yet. That is partially out of our hands too. But I’ll tell you that the Lego collection is no longer in Romania, it’s in London and the plan is currently to take it to Australia in December ( but that is also partially out of our hands). Home is where the Lego is.

Good on you ! Does it feel different to relocate your base to Oz ? I mean, in my eyes, your base was Breb for a few years – does it feel like going back, or does it feel like moving on ? Or maybe it just feels like non of these…
Enjoy London (maybe London is your base, no ?) !
Anyway, I don’t know why I’m ranting about this base-thing. In my worldview, you need to be rooted somewhere, but you seem to be doing wonderful with no roots other than your common history as a family. That’s enormous!
Wow … Pakistan sounds daunting to me –
We were in Namibia last spring – Southern Africa is my place-to-be, I wouldn’t mind having that region as my base ;-)))
