I broke my arm in Niger, didn’t expect that. We had been traveling with Big Dan, Ed & Chris, life was good and then we had to sit tight for 7 weeks until my arm fixed. 
Back on the road we reached Brazzaville, Congo and found we could reasonably go no further, didn’t expect that.
We were a little frustrated, we wanted to see Angola, but it wasn’t to be and eventually we landed back in the UK and set about raising some cash for another venture.
Yesterday I accepted a contract to work in Luanda, Angola, certainly didn’t expect that. Had it not been for the broken arm and the Brazzaville situation, it’s unlikely things would have worked out this way… but who knows?
Since we’re away from the nest again, I thought I might kick this blog into life. We hope there will be chance for us to visit Namibia, South Africa, Mozambique and a few other places that will be accessible thanks to our base in Angola. I hope to be back here soon, writing from African shores.

Great! Back to Africa and this time instead of spending money you earn it… Hope it all works out well. Congratulations with the job!
Although it will mean that you wont visit us in Ouarzazate….
Lots of pleasure there and many greetings from us, Peter Zineb Selma Frank.

Greetings from Germany! (from Annekathrin, too)
You’re crazy, congratulations for the new job. So the story has finally an happy end. If you should be tired of Africa, there waits a cold beer for you in Saxony.
Next year we will be back in Africa (west) for research.
Good luck
