Africa 2006

As the song says, “All my bags are packed, I’m ready to go” - except my bags are not yet packed.

But otherwise I’m pretty much ready for my 23.55 departure for Reykjavik, via Milan and London. In an eery symmetry, my final flight is scheduled to land at Keflavik Airport at 23.55 on Tuesday.

If I land to see 100 camels roaming the snow-covered lava fields (I hear it’s been a bit wintry in Niceland lately), then I guess a deal has been brokered and I’ll have to return to Africa, but otherwise I’m looking forward to the darkness and snow again after a great trip.

Stay tuned in the coming days for a “proper” conclusion and of course - a slide show.
