2012 English Channel Swim

7 - 14 September 2012



After having cycled through Africa, completed 5 Ironman Triathlons, run the Comrades Ultra Marathon, Climbed Kili ... I have decided to take on a slightly tougher option ...



... 34km of cold, open water swimming ... leaving the coast of the eternal "wanna-be" soccer nation, over to the "frogs" on the other side ...

I'm going to get sick ...

Hi there again.

We just went on a real awesome flight over the Okavango Delta ... in a little six seater Cessna plane ... and saw loads of animals (and water obviously) ... elephants, giraffe, gnu, zebra, hippo, snakes, ants, termites and lots more.

Thank God we went at eight o'clock already ... the ground is not that hot yet, so we had little turbulence. And still I felt like absolute shit ... I don't think I have sweated so much on my trip yet ... I came out literally green and sopping wet and a major twitch in my hand from continually thinking I may need my barf-bag.

Well, I've done my shopping, internet and the flight ... so I'm going back to the hotel to relax and lie at the pool for the whole day ... ;-) What a life ...

cheers
