We're back for a month in South Africa with our two kids to tour the country with our long feature movie for the coming out of our book with Jacana publishing and the strong support of Hi-Tec shoes. We'll be doing public lectures in the Barnyard theatres and private ones organised by some of our hosts and friends.

It'll be for us the best way to turn the last page of Africa Trek by giving back all the love and strength we received from the continent to some of its people we owe our journey to. Tight schedules and running around will be this time our frustrating lot, but as the ancient greek said : "you never bath in the same river." But hopefully we'll meet up with some of our hosts from the cape area we didn't meet the last time we went on puilgrimmage in 2008. Please go and rehearse these memories
