Postcard from South Africa

Dear All, I’ll probably be home before you get this, but anywho. Having a great time in South Africa — still can’t believe I’m actually here! Weather is more than fine, even though it’s supposed to be winter. Temperatures are hot but humidity is low, so I’m dry as a bone for once (hehe!). Benitha is a wonderful host. Amongst other things, she’s been introducing me to various South African culinary delights: pap and wors, koeksisters, and grape flavour Fanta (my new fave soft drink). It’s so amazing to actually be in her company, after all this time. I wish it wasn’t flying by so fast. We’ve got the metric ball and a trip to Kruger to come, but still. Leaving will be hard… Running out of space. Better wind this up. Best regards to all, MacDara

To correct Eoin’s statement, I actually drink ICE COLD flat Pepsi Max.

the very presence of pepsi max in any form in your drink of choice is enough to mark you out as a highly sick individual :-P
