Thanks, hugs and kisses

This endeavour would not have been possible without the support of the following:

• Thanks to DigiCape (South Africa's largest independent Apple retailer) for the generous discount on our brilliant new iPhone, without which staying in touch on the road would have been a lot more difficult.
