Starry-Eyed Africa Roundup

So, the two-week Africa theme is over, and what a fabulous two weeks it has been. It sounds stupid, but even though part of the point of it was to show that this amazing and complex continent cannot be defined or described in simple terms, I thought that I might be able to show a lot more of it in two weeks. At the start, a fortnight felt like a luxurious amount of time, but before long, the days were slipping away at an alarming rate and I only managed a few feature pieces, which in no way adequately portray all that is Africa. I hope that you can accept these weaknesses and that what is here has in some way opened your eyes and has left you wanting to discover more.

Starry-eyed in Africa

The final guest post of the Africa fortnight comes from Joanne Haws of Classic Retreats. Prepare to become starry-eyed…

The phone rings… slightly disorientated, you lean over and reach for the receiver.

‘Hello?’  - “Good morning this is your 5:30am wake up call.”

A jolt of excitement and a rush of energy pulses through your body as you throw yourself out of bed!
