Hello, welcome to the podcast to this podcast.

I'm Matt the motorator DeAndre here with Alastair Weaver back from the trip.

Yes.

How many hours in the air?

Like, I don't know.

We talked about it last week uh you would just come back

but you just came back from the european trip with your family and then immediately turned

around went to c s and then i don't know 48 hours later had to go to not had to i mean had the

got the opportunity i guess you could say to go to south

africa yeah it's it's i's actually got one of these um it's called flighty app that uh that i think

is a regular travel thing i think so far in january i spent two days and 11 hours in the air so i'm not

not feeling very proud of my carbon footprint at the moment we're only 16 days into

the into this new year we're only 16 days I mean pretty good for my airline status at the moment

but as a good start solid you know solid foundations but no not not proud of the carbon footprint

but it's um it was a it was an amazing trip um it was so if you've never been and

i'm sure many people listening haven't been to south africa partly because it's so

such a bloody long way away from the from the u.s um it is a beautiful country and it's my

third visit there um and it's it's just god's own place it's a And it's just God's own place.

It's just the scenery and the environment.

And yes, there is still a lot of inequality.

And sometimes it's tough to drive past some of the, you know, the townships,

which, you know, resemble more like shanty towns in or favelas in Brazil or something like that.
