This is Biko. A fortunate few have met him. This morning on the beach he was ecstatic to run in the shallow waves and look for friends on the sand.

With images of trips and memories of new friends fresh in my mind, I am also ecstatic to take short brake from my day job. This morning I went for short and freezing surf at Llandudno. A land mark beach in Cape Town. I felt alive, and it's great to be home.
