Leaving the burgh....

After 3 1/2 in the Burgh I am leaving the city permanently to continue to gospel about the wonders of the Portuguese empire and how it makes complete sense to restore it ... so with what one collects in that time (minus what my cousin and her friend took before and what I had taken previously to London), Patty and Magda (who felt sorry for the poor condition of my crippled back after an intensive vacuum cleaning session - it was the first time that Chez Filipe was completely cleaned and I didn't even get to enjoy it) accompanied me to the station .... this would prove to be an impossible task to be done on my own (as may be seen in the picture) hence on top of everything else you've done for me I will be eternally grateful to both...

It was a very sad couple of weeks as I had to say goodbye to all my wonderful friends (unfortunately missed a few people) but at the same time I am quite looking forward to go and tame the red continent with my little flag... and if I put down the flag its mine :D There are of course those who are happy that I leave.... mainly my poker buddies from whom I took money which allowed me to eat meat rather than Lidl noodles... unfortunately this didn t always happen specially when I was in a loosing streak (which looked as I was in one most of the time)... I though that it wasn t all misfortune... I think the fact that my poker ranking knowledge ends at three of a kind played a somehow relevant role in my mischief....

The intention of this blog is to try to keep everyone who might be interested in what I am up too updated... I am not sure how easy it will be to access internet and, I don t even know what my itinerary is ... with the same spirit that my ancestors who discovered the world without a map I will go with the flow and see where the cheap local buses take me..... for those that know I am leaving tomorrow around 19ish and I shall land in Cape Town on Monday.... not sure what I am gonna do whilst I am there (which I will be for approximately 3 days) and after going to Hermanus to do some White Shark Diving.... I will try to post something after.... if I don t please be happy for the shark who has eaten 72kg of prime portuguese meat ...

Hope that all is well... please feel free to leave your comments and accompany my adventure through the red continent...
