Dear friends and followers of the SnailTrails team!
2011 was an exciting year, no doubt! News channels are reviewing the momentous events of the year (especially the Arab spring), while the SnailTrail teams vividly remembers starting the year on Lake Malawi, then heading up to Egypt and coming home in late April after two years and some 110000km on the road!
This website has gone a bit silent since then, the last seven months kept us unusually busy (compared to the preceding two years...)! Family and friends, jobs, an unusually large household compared to life in Archie, working up our diaries and photo collection all contributed to a "fast forward" feeling that brings us to Christmas and the end of this year!
Very astute readers might have noticed that the little dot on the SnailTrails world map has left Europe and is now positioned in West Africa. This is a tiny bit premature, I'll admit, but that's where the SnailTrails team is headed - Ouagadougou in Burkina Faso, to be precise. Archie is already on his way there (by container), the rest of us will be following at the beginning of January! The move is of a professional nature, but we'll no doubt have opportunities to explore the region in our spare time.
We'll keep you updated via this website about this new adventure ("Letters from Burkina", or something like that). If you were interested in our travels, but don't want to be bothered anymore, no problem: please use the unsubscribe link at the bottom of the email that led you here. SnailFriends: if you have forgotten your login and/or password, get in touch!
All right then, enjoy the rest of this year, transition festively into 2012 and start planning your visit to sunny West Africa!
With all our best wishes for the New Year
Your SnailTrails team
