One by one the big overland truck companies arrived.
To the chorus of the Soft-Rock band Toto’s “Africa” the trucks would park, open their doors and - like if someone had opened a tap - emptying its content of party-longing-tourists in yet another place to spend their greenbacks.

å-å-å-å-åttitrree
Ojojoj. Det är ju himla mycket ni har varit med om och har sett. Snart fyller man 30 och har inte varit söder om polen. aaaa. Jag kommer aldrig se en tiondel av vad ni har sett. Fast idag såg jag en koltrast som satt och frös under en buske. Den var snel. Varför drog han inte till afrika han också liksom? Han har ju vingar. Kan man odla vingar på sig själv? Det är kallt i Sverige. Men det är hemligt.

Wow!
Great, great pictures Bobbie! are you a professional photographer by any chance? if not, you should seriously consider the idea. I agree 100% with you about the organized overland tours mostly loaded with people which only interest in the visited places is to discover new brands of beer. That happens in Africa and everywhere else in the world, unfortunately. Marco PS: Were you succesful in convincing the old brit at Vic falls to try his "luck" with alternative suicidal means? Which one did he finally chose? :-)
