Kent To Cape Town
 Hi!
For those of you who don't know us we are Bon and Ed and we have given up our jobs to spend 12 months driving from Kent to Capetown. We have a 4 year old son who is coming with us on this adventure! Our vehicle is an 'N' registration land rover which has been converted to be a suitable overland truck and our 'home' for the next 12 months. The truck has a roof tent which is where we will sleep and we also have a ground tent. We are hoping to leave on 15 May and to that end we have rented our house, sold or given away just about all our possessions including furniture (apart from things which are very important to us which are in storage) and all three of us are now squashed in to my Dad's house with just a few boxes of possessions. This journal is going to be our story............ |
