This Might Be Interesting


A friend of mine from a previous trip around the world with a large group of undergraduates back in 2004 has decided to do it again and to publish his notes and some pictures regularly as he and his wife and grandson sail merrily around the world starting from the Bahamas and heading for Spain and Morocco. They are heading south along the coast of Africa aiming for Namibia and South Africa, then on into the Indian Ocean etc. It should be an interesting blog as he is a veteran traveler, often by ship, and a former World Bank executive.

The threatening picture above is where they are heading now, which is Cape Town with Table Mountain in the background. The mountain had a "tablecloth" on it when the picture was taken.

Here are Alex's notes on South Africa. Probably has some leads on pictures as well. By now they are well into the Indian Ocean, heading for Chennai on the east coast of southern India.

“In beholding old stones we may feel our anxieties about our achievements–and lack of them–slacken . . . Vast landscapes [and seascapes] can have an anxiety–reducing effect similar to ruins, for they are the representatives of infinite space, as ruins are the representatives of infinite time, against which our weak, short-lived bodies seem no less inconsequential than those of moths or spiders.”—Alain de Botton in Status Anxiety
