A spanner in the works

This blog is all about travelling and friendship and" La Dolce Vita", but it's also about the choices we have made about how we live our lives. There is nothing like lying in a hospital bed listening to your physician telling you, " You are very lucky to be alive", to help focus on whether living a crazy, nomadic life for the last five years has been the right decision or not. Pulmonary Embolism is often symptomless and difficult to diagnose but easy to treat, so I am happy to report that Neil was allowed to fly a week later and is very well. So, the lesson learned is that you had better do whatever it is you want to do, before its too late. I have a great life and I never take any of it for granted. With all the admin out of the way and a weekend of fishing in Dullstroom over, we left South Africa for six months of Northern Hemisphere summer.
