The first leg – flying to Cape Town, South Africa
11.15 am - while our boys are sounding the car's horn relentlessly, we are slowly driving out of our street, waved goodbye by friends and neighbours. Finally, it took us days packing our stuffandcleaning our house, but we have now actually started our trip around the world! Still hard to believe. One thing is clear: a month holiday prior to embarking on a year's holiday is not sufficient for all the preparations!
We are met at Schiphol airport with Tineke and Marieke and Marie (or 'Aunt Polly', as you like), along with Jos, Benno, Boris and Sam. Checking in and dropping off our luggage went very smoothly, so we meet with them again quickly in the Panorama restaurant. Enough time for a cup of coffee and for saying our last good-byes.
Already during the first flight from Amsterdam to London, it is clear that this will be a special year, being so close to each other and spending so much time with each other. It's amazing to see where just spending time with each other leads to. It's so different from our normal day-to-day life.
