Vacation

Right heading down to Cape Town tomorrow before the start of my first trip of this summer (20 days from Cape Town to Vic Falls through Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe/Zambia). Will likely be out of touch for the whole time but will try and check in - will certainly update you all when I get back - pictures won't be until August though (or so)....

Actually I wouldn't mind getting lost in the bush...

Yeah this trip is just the appetizer so to speak. Unfortunately you Aussie's are going to have to put up with me for 3 weeks in July (arrive in Sydney on the 9th)...
