Well, in the past, we usually bought just one way ticket to a place and we stayed there for as long as we wanted. Sometimes a month, sometimes a year, you know :) This time, however, we had just a very little and restricted slot for the travel and the package just fitted in there nice (and cheap) so why not ;)

Yeah, I cannot wait to start rolling out the African posts either but I first need to go through those hundreds of photos I took there :)

My pleasure to send that TipU votes to your post! You deserve all the possible support for this epic series of yours. Happy New Year!
