Have a great time - have a beer for me at the Grand Palm while you're in Gabarone.

Not going anywhere near Gaberone Joe, stay in the north of the country - cutting through from Namibia to Ghazi to Maun (Okavango) to Chobe then to Kasane and into Zimbabwe.

In Swakopmund at the moment and so far the trip has been great, Sossusvlei was amazing as was the Quad biking I did in the desert this afternoon.

Will update everything when I can.

Glad you made it!

Looks like the only vacation I'm having this summer is going to the Island of Sodor.

OK, second half of my summer vacations starts tomorrow. Unfortunately you Diggers are going to have to put up with me for a couple of weeks as I am flying into Sydney on Wednesday (got Tuesday in Singapore). So will probably be out of contact until I am in Sydney in that god awful place called Australia

OK back from Oz now (in Singapore again on my way back to Jo'burg - have around 40 hours of flying in 4 days ). Will be back in South Africa tomorrow morning (Sunday) before flying home on Monday evening. Not really wanting to go home yet but I guess I have to do - things to do, people to see, money to earn etc...
