Welcome

Hello all,

Welcome to the Charles and Fred web-log to document our trip to Middle East and East/South Africa during July 2005 - January 2006.

We hope to be able to post stories and pictures and show links to the places we have visited along the way.

The rough plan is as follows:

late July - Syria
early August - Lebanon
late August - Jordan
September - Eritrea, Djibouti, Somaliland
October - Ethiopia
November - Uganda
late November - Tanzania, Zanzibar
mid December - Mozambique
late December, early January - South Africa

We are not planning to rush anywhere and we will keep our ears open for where the best places to go are, where it is safe and so on.

The flight back is not booked yet, but we are thinking to return from Cape Town on about 15th January, giving Fred a week to prepare for school on 23rd January.
