For the last 2 days of my tour, we had 1100 kilometers to drive left to Johannesburg. We stayed the night at a rhino sanctuary where we did more driving - a game drive in the evening. In all I covered over 6000 kms on my tour excluding the game drives and I ended up with just 5 photos remaining on my memory card when all was said and done.
...and I used those in Joburg for the sunset. Yes, it's kinda my thing, this obsession with sunsets. But man are they beautiful, much more so in Africa. It seemed fitting too that the one on my last night was equally spectacular.
So yes, I'm back in Toronto now safe and sound (wait, uh, no boss, I'm not back until 7am next monday, right before I start work again). It is raining but I'm working away on photos anyway (over 2000!!). I've posted a whole new set now on picasa in 2 different albums (one for the volunteering and our for the tour) - http://picasaweb.google.ca/pnoman3.
But despite the weather it is nice to be back (well, for now. Give me a couple more days). It is nice to have regular showers and know they'll be hot, to have electricity, drinkable tap water, mirrors (well, sort of), a computer, internet, and possibly best of all, a soft bed. Of course I miss the sky, the weather, the unbeatable scenery, the money I used to have before I went, the continuous adventure that every day presents, and, ok, I guess the people I met too.
