A Big Loss to The UK
Simon and Jules, two of the coolest people we know are returning to South Africa. The UK wont be such a wicked place without them. We tried to convince them to stay, but something about better weather, surf, and friends made them decide to leave. Yes I did mention to them guns, sharks, and silly words.
We have had some wicked times with them, from drinking a cup of tea twice a day for five days a week for 2 years at Nortel with Si, surfing in Newquay, the outrageously early weekend morning rowing down the thames for Eton Rowing Club, Simon breaking my nose 3 weeks before my wedding day, to the two of them doing the most awesome job at photographing our wedding.
In typical Comley style they are not simply catching a flight from LHR to Cape Town, they have bought and converted a Toyota Landcruiser and are driving from Maidenhead to Morocco, then back into Europe, round into Egypt and finally a quick hop down the length of Africa. Thier chosen weapon is pictured above.
This is the link to their blog African Feet , everyone please check it, i guarentee it will be a wicked read and have some amazing stories (including the one when the car gets jacked a gun point, stolen, and Si and Jules are left to walk out of the desert with nothing).
They truley will be sorley missed, not only my Sam and myself, but every other person who has ever had the pleasure to meet them - including my Aunties :o)
Hah hahah
Big Love
Chris & Sam
P.S Si, Jules - you don't escape that easily, we will be over soon to visit.
