Day 123: Departure

Date: Tuesday 29th July 2008
Song of the day: Elevation - U2
Staying: On the BA Plane to Jo'burg

The Big One finally arrived today: our final day in London and our flight to Africa. It was a stressful day as we packed, tried to think of the final things we had to do, and tried not to think about how much we were going to miss London, and particularly all our friends there. I came to a stand-still by about 10.30am, unable to figure out what to do next. Fortunately Cam stepped up to the plate and figured out our last minute tasks. We had a very sad farewell with Mel, who we'll both miss very much.

At the airport we had our final English meal (at Giraffe, yum!), then boarded our very full but on-time flight to Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe.
