A little rest and relaxation

The first leg of our 'backpacks and adventures' kicked off on the 30 April with a bus ride from Park Station in Jozi to Howick.  The bus arrived to collect passengers an hour late so we spent in total 3 hours at the bus station.  Never the less, we were soon on our way and 7 hours later we arrived in this awesome little town called Howick.  Immediately we felt more relaxed, it's amazing how the stresses of 'big city life' leave you as you leave the city. 

Joshua is loving it over here with Granny and Grandpa.  He has run the a huge garden and a safe complex to explore and enjoy and that is exactly what he is doing.  The resident monkey's were spotted this morning, we spent the morning at the country market and then did absolutely nothing...for the first time in a very long time.

We are off to town tomorrow to get started on flights.  So far, the cheapest is R46 300, for the 3 of us, return.  We are on the hunt for cheaper flights, so if we have to catch a ferry, a donkey cart and a 4 seater plane to cut costs, then we will most definitely do it.  At this stage, it looks like the route to take is JHB to Caracas, Caracas to Grenada. 

Otherwise all is good, it's a wonderful feeling not having a flat full of earthly goods, the sense of freedom comes when you get rid of all the 'stuff' that you carry along with you in life.  It's all gone and it's freaking awesome!

Anyhow, it's time for dinner and bed.  We have a full day on foot planned for tomorrow, so it's time to relax some more.

Peace, love and happiness xx
