1/6/12 A final fix of dulce de leche before leaving South America. It is now summer in England, right?

1/5/12 We're sad to leave our friends in Buenos Aires but we're itching to put our backpacks on and head off into the wilds.

Cape Town, South Africa

Back in Cape Town we weren't the only ones on a pilgrimage to Robben Island.

Just after Reconciliation Day the ferry was a joyous riot of singing, dancing and praising the end of apartheid 16 years ago. Nelson Mandela's old cell is a shrine of sorts. We were ushered past in solemn order by our guide, a former political prisoner.

Thoughts on politics were constantly provoked throughout our time in South Africa, this most stunningly beautiful country.
