    Such a beautiful country. I can't wait for next year- we're going to go visit family there. Any NZ Dogs near Napier?

    Cold and wet in East London this morning. To a beautiful, warm and sunny day in JNB.

    My African Dream - reporting from Haiti

    I give up. It started last week when I bought a set of drawers. The flat pack type. Because an R700 extra for assembly and delivery seemed a little excessive. I triple checked the width of the area they had to go, and swiped the credit card. As the pieces weigh 50kg altogether, I carried them...

    Wanted Small tent -CPT

    If you don't come right with a secondhand one, the Naturehike P-series is great. Two vestibules to store stinky gear. Big enough for you and a plus one should you wish, easy to put up alone, easy to take down, rolls up small and is nice and light...

    Yesterday the wind was forecast to be strong. Again. So I took it easy while the hardcore divers pulled on their damp wetsuits and headed out into the chop. I drank coffee in bed, and explored Wild Dogs. Much better. Once it warmed up, I headed to the beach for a run, and met up with the gang...

    ... Breakfast was delicious. They say diving makes you hungry, but I wasn't expecting to be so ravenous after just the pool session. I ate a lot. And afterwards realised that probably wasn't a good idea. Oh well, we still had about an hour before the dive. We caught the tractor to the beach...

    ... I almost called it quits. But I didn't. And I slept surprisingly well. I guess, having been up since 03:30 that morning, my body didn't care how freaked out my mind was. Thursday dawned beautiful but a bit windy. Coffee was had and I met up with my instructor. We went through the course...

    My African Dream - reporting from Haiti

    I used to love water. As a kid, I was in the pool come rain, shine, wind, summer, and even in the dead of winter. I would throw on a wetsuit, and "surf" across the pool on a boogie board. Or make giant waves with it. Or put an old fibreglass kayak in, that I could barely turn around because the...

    After Piet Retief, however.... Nasty. And I believe the road is better than what it was 🤯 I'm very grateful I kitted my Duster with new shocks a few months ago, otherwise it would have been an incredibly painful drive. Are there routes from Sodwana to Pretoria that bypass the section of N2...

    I hope the rest of the flight was good too! Ask the cabin crew to tell me a Dog says hi next time you hear Heather is the FO (I think I'm the only Heather FO at the moment). ☺️

    What a lekker scenic drive between Ermelo and Piet Retief. A bit of the road is pot holed, but for the most part it's a really nice road. And the forest plantations and dirt roads that beckon 😍

    A cool 554kts groundspeed on the way back from Upington last night 😎 Not bad for the "little" jet.
