First, the trip itself - wow! Shelldon's knowledge of the timeline and events surrounding the battles is encyclopaedic and he absolutely brings it to life by stopping at key points and describing the battle plan, as well as the heat and deprivations and the vast distances covered. The sites are beautifully kept and quite moving, with wonderful little museums and even a tiny cafe.
Secondly, South Africa itself - what an amazing country but experiencing major struggles with infrastructure and progress. Shelldon displayed a depth of compassion and understanding relating to these ongoing struggles that really helped us understand how people are trying to move forward. His knowledge of different cultures is amazing. Thank you Shelldon - a day to remember!
