Dearest Alan. How do I begin? I arrived in South Africa on my own but now I feel that the people I have met over here are friends for life. that journey would not have been possible without my first South African friend, your good self. I have so many fantastic memories from my short 8 weeks, here, our Safaris in Rustenburg and Pilanesberg, house dinners and your frequent excellent life advice. I'm glad that I could bring a few firsts to Swanage, my passion for diving and whiskey, as well as my unfortunate patient experience with a bout of appendicitis! I couldn't have wished for a more supportive and fun host for my time here, so much so that you became much more than just a host. I will definitely be back in the rainbow nation, although perhaps more the Cape Town side! I have had an incredible and enriching experience here and I know it will remain with me long after I have left. My warmest wishes to you. I'll be back! Graeme Downes, RAMC "aka Captain.
