Setting Off



The great day had finally arrived! Between Christmas and the 19th of January we packed up and cleaned our house ready for our tenant to move in. Luckily Aidan, Kathryn and Florian had put in days to help us prepare the garden for our absence and Joel, Daniel, Holly, Liz and Bruce provided lots of labour and moral support. Waved off by Holly and Joel as we headed for Sydney, we suddenly realised the immensity of what we had undertaken and how we would not be seeing them for so long. A relaxing two days in Sydney with Mum, Allan and Margaret and family and catching up with Neil felt like the first time we had drawn breath for so long. We stopped in Dubai for a couple of hours and arrived in Cairo having had a reasonable amount of sleep and two delicious breakfasts.
