Baked Beans Jubilee: July 2011

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.

A year later ...

Mr Jones and Me on Etosha Pan

It's a year ago that I packed my LSP and Mr Jones and Me hit the road for the start of my Baked Beans Jubilee adventure. Even though I have not finished what I set out to do, I thrive on the memories of my adventure so far. I continue to scheme and dream how I can finish the initial planned trip (seeing the rest of Namibia) and adding more adventures to my Travel Bucket List. I have been fortunate to do some travel since I got back from my BBJ adventure, but not any solo stuff. Read about my subsequent travels to Port Elizabeth, RockNess Monster, Signs of my Time, Thornybush, rural SA, Sani Pass, KZN Battlefields and most recently, rural Zimbabwe and the kids in Mpindo.

This weekend sees me finally turn 50 and I plan to finish the Namibia adventure before I turn 51.

I hope you've been well and having adventures of your own (I know some of you have had even bigger adventures than I've dreamed and I have found your tales inspiring ...)

Till next time
