I’m delighted you cured the mouse’s arthritis. I assume that’s why you can’t hear him creaking around any longer

Dear Paula and Jeremy

What you experienced is deeply intense and heartbreaking.

Taking the time to recover and process such a moment shows wisdom and courage. It’s not easy to carry the weight of what you witnessed.

Now you return to the road and continue your journey through Africa.

We’re with you in spirit. Wishing you peace, resilience and renewed wonder in every mile ahead.

With deep respect and admiration, Monica and Jürg

Thanks Philippa. Don’t forget to put your pasta and bread etc in tupperwares! 😁. We got a bit slack and paid the price (as did the mouse, sadly).
