Mount Kilimanjaro, Moshi, Tanzania
Well it certainly is a first that I am writing about a place I am travelling to, as opposed to where I have been. On the 1st of September I will be making my first ever visit to Africa! Quite worrying after just seeing Blood Diamond, and what an excellent film. I am off with […]
