With travel come stories. And with our trip to Africa, come plenty of stories. Stories of our journey, of the people and of our adventures. There's even a story behind the name of our blog, Kapeeche.
We have definitely taken our sweet time with sharing our pictures and our stories, some of you have probably already heard our stories and are simply waiting for the darn pictures wondering, what's the hold up? Well, this is the hold up.
This is our blog of our 2-week trip to Southern Africa, to visit our friends Dan and Mellissa in Malawi and to experience safari in Botswana. Unlike most blogs that are updated daily, you're getting this blog all at once, we got a little carried away in the process. With that said, we suggest referencing this main page and to work your way in chronological order from the beginning by selecting the below links from the top. Or if you like, you can poke around as you please.
For those looking just for pictures, links to each Gallery are over here, to the right.
Thanks for visiting, we hope you enjoy. We'd love to hear your comments.
