I traveled with John on my Komodo Islands trip in Indonesia last year. He flew into Cape Town this week with his Spanish girl friend , Carmen, to join the Discovery for a 72 day cruise up the east coast of Africa, through the Suez canal, into the Black Sea and back to the UK.
He has homes in the UK and Spain and is a true cockney.
We had a very enjoyable lunch at the Belgian restaurant at the waterfront.
