Where's your nearest post box?

Today, we got a veritable flood of addresses, thanks to African Parks (http://www.african-parks.org) who responded - without exception - to my emails. What was interesting for Toby to find out was the remoteness....first, we got "the nearest post box is two hours' drive away" (Rwanda), then, tonight, an email came from Chad, explaining that there is no post box within a day's drive, but that the letter would get posted at the earliest opportunity. This followed hot on the heels of advice we got a couple of days ago, addressing letters to a third person, because picking it up from the post office would require showing the passport (and it would then have to go on a long drive to the village where its recipient lives!).

So, of course, we had to measure how far our nearest post box is. The answer? 29 Toby steps, or 23 Mummy steps - and this is what it looks like. We don't mind waiting for post - our way to the post box must be among the easiest anywhere!
