The BIG ADVENTURE

As part of my Jubilee celebrations towards the big Five Oh I decided on a solo trip of a lifetime, exploring Botswana, then on to see the Victoria Falls, heading south through Namibia, back to South Africa. The budget was less than shoestring and inexpensive Baked Beans appeared on my menu.

The older posts are about my preparations and the newer ones are from my adventure to date.

Mr Jones and Me

After much deliberation, I've decided I need a companion for my BBJ adventure.

I conducted random interviews at airports enroute to soccer stadiums and shopping malls around the country.
I wasn't having much success.
I just didn't 'click' with anyone.

Finally I saw him and immediately fell in love.

I'd like to introduce you to "Mr Jones", my companion for the adventure.

He even has a song which ends "...  Mr. Jones and me, we're gonna be big stars..."

I can`t hear that song but think I remember it. Have fun with Mr. Jones, and when somebody tries to find out whether you travel alone, you can shout, "Mr Jones! Tell him YOU are with me!"
