We left Cape Town with loads of luggage - mostly toys for camping, climbing, general playing and a few necssary clothes. At the last minute we got an sms from Aunty Jen in London saying that the weather had got a little chilly again so we should't leave all our warm things behind... so we tossed in the down jackets, a pair of thermals and a scarf each. Hmmm... we weren't quite prepared enough so had to pick up waterproof trousers, gloves and waterproof boots too! We're now good for the rain, thunderstorms, hail and sleet that we've had complimenting the patches of blue sky and dramatic clouds.
After sleeping a lot and resting up, we wandered around London for a day, found a beautiful castle ruin in Guildford, traveled up and down the Thames by ferry and have seen friends and family.
But Springtime has been beautiful!
Good to hear that you guys are well, if a little wet and chilly. At least the flowers are doing their best to make things cheerful! Hope the trip remains relaxing and rejuvenating.
