Rupert's Latest Trip
This blog will follow my progress from Bristol to Sri Lanka-Cambodia-India-Ethiopia-Madagascar-South Africa-Zimbabwe-Botswana-Nambia-South-Peru-Ecuador-India and then back to the UK after a rest on a Thai beach. Unfortunately Cameroon fell off the itinerary. I was going to volunteer to work with Apes, but the NGO was too disorganised - so that part of my trip was cancelled.
