Somewhat Ashamed

Before coming to Africa on this trip I thought that writing a blog about my experiences would be something good to look back on when and if I ever hang up my boots.

It is obvious that I have not engaged enough determination when I see that I have not bothered to post any entries for over a month. It’s not good enough and quite frankly I am somewhat ashamed.

The reason for being ashamed is that I have a friend who is travelling the world as a back packer and yet managing to keep his blog up to date.

Here I am, living in a hotel and making all kinds of excuses for not bothering with my blog. The hotel internet is somewhat dodgy, too much work, more interesting things to do……you name it………. I have used the excuse.

But there is my friend Mark, backpacking across Canada at the moment, making time to record his journey despite sometimes sleeping under a tree or whatever.

So I have made a somewhat belated New Years Resolution to do something about my own blog.

Like most New Year Resolutions it may fall by the wayside…..but I shall try my best.

Marks travel experiences can be read at: -http://www.scadindustries.com/sael/journal.html

I have decided to map his journey on Google Maps until I can find a better method of recording his journey.

In the meantime his route can be seen at:-http://maps.google.co.uk/maps/ms?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&ie=UTF8&t=h&msa=0&msid=114179733898200164888.000437049a21ec4e6c192&z=3&om=1
