Journey South

Hi Everyone!,

I'm finally in South Georgia!!  Its a long way from home (I think around 8500 miles from Locks Heath)  No words can describe how beautiful it is.  I will upload some Photographs tonight when the bandwidth is unused (the Satellite internet is very slow and restricted)

As I have had no internet access during my travelling, I have been keeping a diary on the laptop. I have written the entries into an account of my journey south in book format, please feel free to have a read.  The PDF of this can be viewed or downloaded here.

I will be blogging more and more as I get settled in over the next week or so, so please keep checking back regularly.  And please feel free to email any time.

Cheers all,
Matt.
