I like travelling. As a small kid we used to leave home at 3 in the morning to go on holiday to the sea. Just like the other real vaalies (I was one ok), and as my gran would recall I loved the sea and not the sand. I still love the sea and not the sand.
So every year until I moved down to durban we went on holiday. This stopped for a while, people living near the coast are not huge travellers. I still have friends who has never left kzn and I still can't wrap my head around that. It's abnormal, well that's what I think. Come on people live a little.
I think there's small signs that the travel bug has bitten. When sunday lunches with the family becomes once a month, trips to the beach aren't good enough anymore, when small road trips occur (3-4 hours) and frequently pop up.
Spending quite a lot of time in the car isn't something new, except getting irritated with the same 5 faces that you see almost everyday and now have to spend time in the car with. Driving from a small place called Marloth Park (30km from Mozambique and 50km from Swaziland) to the Kgalagadi with family isn't really recommended. -Blame it on the grumpy people. -
One trip I kind of regret not doing was the Botswana, Zambia and Namibia. Oh well lessons learned. I recommend taking 2 phones and an iPod with maybe a book. Good music is always needed if you and the people you're travelling with aren't listening to the same music.
Talking about music: tune into Jon $avage's show tonight at 10pm to 12am. He's playing some mutemath, vampire weekend, INXS, blood red shoes, something VERY SPECIAL and will have ASH in studio. To keep in contact with him: facebook under the Jon Savage fan page and on twitter: http://twitter.com/cassetteband
