Back after 3 months in Africa. I almost forgot what I saw in Africa, when I travelled around 17 years ago, as an observer. I'm thankful to have had the opportunity to revisit. I hardly have any images to show where I've been and what I've been doing and the incredible people I met (as usual). Two long months in Mozambique, Cheffing and Chef Training at a Scuba Dive Lodge was quite the colourful experience; a wild, rugged long bay, often deserted, often serene. Thanks to Artur for all of our time in the kitchen, a beautiful human being, so warm. And thanks to Martina for taking the piss out of me so much. Thanks to most of the people in Morongulo who welcomed me and let me in....and to most of the dogs too, all 7 of them, for joining me on my almost daily beach walks. Thanks to Nick for his sincerity and understanding. Oh and thanks again to Martina, who has allll the medecine. Finally over the whooping cough. Three weeks in South Africa to finish. Still a favourite country. Never driven so fast. Long mountain roads, so much sun. Thanks to Themi and everyone volunteering at #Onwaba who feed so many local kids and provide them with a place to have fun and smile. Sorry I wasn't there for long enough. Such an incredible project, helping so many beautiful children. Hope to raise awareness and money for you guys soon enough. Thanks to @glenasdias who first showed me what volunteering in your community and other ones is. In my opinion we should be doing it regularly, from an early age, in school time. Thanks to Deborah, doing the marketing at @Umngazi River Lodge, (near Port St Johns), who included me, gave me a genuine, interested and warm connection (plus a free night, room upgrade and 30 minute back massage all so I'd come back and have an even better and twice as long experience at this incredible, beautiful place.....all for, essentially a shout out. Sorry for the delay). I implore people to come and experience this gaff and the people and their smiles (Aubrey in particular) and the inordinate amount of food all day long. I hope to be back. Next up was September in the Scottish Highlands working at a Fishing Estate for the Lord, Lady and their family.
