Today is my last day in Botswana. I fly out for Joburg at 13:10 this afternoon. A quick trip down to River Walk to check out the bookshop and to have one final coffee with Dad before I head unhappily back to Australia.

Plans are already being formulated for a trip in August. I have a contact at the local Harvey World Travel, whom I used on my last trip here. Chobe National Park, Kruger Park, Natani nature reserve, Madikwe nature reserve, the wines at Cape Town, diving in Mozambique and Victoria Falls are all on the cards, but probably not all of them.

New Years resolution number one: Spend a great deal less time thinking of work.

--- Update:
I have just arrived back in Perth from Joburg. Long-ish flight with a fair bit of clear air turbulence. Only a four hour wait in Perth before a four hour flight to Brisbane. The travel is almost over, but not happy to be out of Africa.

--- Update 2:
Flight to Perth has been delayed an hour..grrrrrr

--- Update 3:
Made up half an hour on the flight to Brisbane. The pilot took on extra fuel and flew lower... how nice of him.
