Nothing, that, that ... Saturday we already the world!
In fact, exactly 3 days (if we except the first, which was traveling alone ... but not so devoid of emotion, I tell you now), but among the backlog that we had (write those last thoughts before you leave), nor is it a matter of spending 3 hours a day doing the blog (I get bored) ... because until today.
And to start, Africa! It became clear immediately that we were on this continent that makes us fall in love 3 years. And if I could have been perfectly because it is clear what the "main color" ... but no, it was for other details. No longer remembered, but in native languages \u200b\u200bon the continent (at least those who have known us as the Swahili that we love as it sounds, the Masai, or Xhosha speak for South Africa) seem to all use the same postscript affirmation in the talks. We, our "yes, yes" or "I" or "worth" ... and that for them is a super nice "Eeehh" as told by a hippie to the bars of maria :-) It's hard to explain, but fireworks is heard it, and as we hear nothing but two women get to passport control, because I said, we immediately knew we were in Africa.
In particular, we have begun our journey as far away from Spain going down in a straight line. Although the flight from Madrid was in Johannesburg, immediately took a connecting flight to Cape Town in the southern tip of Africa. And in fact, that first day of travel we can obtain a preliminary confirmation that these countries as "exotic" (synonym for late for many people) we will be visiting deserve respect.
I realize that this progress was one of the pre-game thinking we wanted to have shared, and I fear that I did ... but the extension is still valid, so here goes. One of the illusions that we have on this trip is to confirm that we are huge and mistakenly influenced by what the media tell us in general and in particular that which transcends international news. Virtually any "good news" is news, but only the events come to the covers. And again, we think this is even more striking if we talk about news from abroad. Thus, it is almost inevitable to form a totally terjiversada all that escapes from our "comfort zone" (as the Americans say). Well, completely bare chest (we are not immune to having a mishap on the way to make us swallow our words), we would love to continue to confirm as we have done on other trips that the world is not as dangerous as we imagine, and that not everything that is not the G-20 are banana republics. Anywhere in the world, "the dumbest makes watches, and hopefully go out there compared to what in many cases native to stay until it wrong.
As told, the first on the forehead. Our dear Iberia left us in Johannesburg with 2 hours of delay on a flight that left at dawn and did not accumulate previous delays, was simply shot while clearing snow and ice on the plane before leaving ! Well, we had a connecting flight with one of the lines from South Africa cheaper areas (very colorful and name Mango), which we took almost as lost ("started well", we think) ... when, against all forecast in half an hour we landed in Johannesburg, we Immigration, collected luggage, pass customs, and arrived at the last minute to shipment. In other words, thanks to fluidisimo Jo'burg airport operations, as called here in Johannesburg, we make the parting gift from our beloved homeland airport operational.
But the second is that there has been a long time. Still not finished, so no whole unto you not to gafarla ... but I come forward, after thoroughly checked to the dentist before leaving the first day of the trip I can hardly sleep toothache!! The next day I had to visit a dentist in South Africa (to more than one is are putting the willies of imagining what will be, secure :-), and tomorrow I make the final workaround, I hope ... so I will tell you also that such dentists are standing in front of the house from here.
And nothing, from the following entry and start with stories and pictures from the trip itself. At the moment we left here, having reached the first destination without "too many" setbacks and taking confidence and ease in what will be our ritmillo of life this year. Sala kahle
(up soon) from Cape Town! Juan & Eva
