18 July 2017 My dear friends, I am sure you will be happy to hear that I have survived my long-haul flight across the Atlantic Ocean from Cape Town to the United States.

Saturday, 10 June 2017 Our fast intercity train did not take long to reach Rotterdam Central Station.

08 June 2017 We are flying to Europe tomorrow evening! When I say ‘we’, I mean me and my dear friends Reggie and Richard.
