| 14th May 2009 Steph B | Wow - From: How a Wooden Kitchen Spoon Might Have Saved Our Lives in the Kalahari My aunt used to carry a wooden spoon around in her purse - though it was to whack her unruly kids, not to fix a truck in the African bush! Way to go! |

| 2nd March 2009 Anna | Wow wow WOW! - From: We Are From Where the Sun Sets What an amazing experience, leaky truck and all. |
| 2nd March 2009 Jim O'Brien | from the O'Briens - From: We Are From Where the Sun Sets Hard to explain if you have not experienced it. Get to Rwanda to see the gorillas and chimps if you can. If you get to Tanzania let us kmow. We can hook you up with a great guide. We are doing SA next year. Please put us on your list as we only find out what you are up to by hounding Norm |
| 19th February 2009 garnette | Landrover heaven - From: Keetmanshoop Karma I imagine that your Land rover does not have the personality problems that mine did. It would completely stop all electrical activity EVERY time it rained in NJ. No starting, no running, no moving until fixed. Love your adventuring! |
| 16th February 2009 Devesh | Concrete Jungle - From: Keetmanshoop Karma Somehow your travels seem more exciting than the concrete jungle here... oh yeah and our wildlife.. Deven and Donia. ha.. Enjoying reading your tales.. keep them coming! and Have Fun!!! |
| 14th February 2009 steph | - From: Braai, Biltong and Croc Circles ditto on the earlier crocs comment. but WOW, what an amazing journey... i would say i'm jealous but it takes a bigger woman than me to deal with some of the mishaps you've had along the way... (YAY SARAH!) |
| 14th February 2009 Peter | nice adventures - From: Keetmanshoop Karma Great adventures! Love your photos of the desert, particularly the abandoned house in the desert. Someone once had dreams there and worked hard, only to give it up. Looks like it could be from a novel about desperation. And Sarah in the bathtub-- lovely. All africans speaking German -- that's wild! |
| 13th February 2009 Aron | Land Rover? - From: Keetmanshoop Karma I hope your Jetta does not read this. She will be jealous. |
| 13th February 2009 Arwen Kettering | The Dream - From: Keetmanshoop Karma Well Alex, Your certainly living the dream now! Your tales are great, your pictures are inspiring. Thanks for sharing your journey with the rest of us living the monotonous existence in babylon. Of course, you know you are making us all rather envious! |
| 14th January 2009 pear | - From: Braai, Biltong and Croc Circles Other than the fact that I have lost respect for you because you wear Crocs, it all sounds AMAZING!!! What a paradise... so happy you are doing it! |
| 14th January 2009 Peter | Nice adventures - From: Braai, Biltong and Croc Circles Dude, swimming with dolphins is so cool -- they charge mega bucks in Hawaii to do that! And some of those waves indeed look very nice for surfing. Cowabunga! |
| 14th January 2009 Alex | Metric Mania - From: Braai, Biltong and Croc Circles dude, you're missing out on all the fun back at work! Measurable metrics. We're now going to be judged on Hits, Bests, Corrects and scoops and we have set targets for each of those. I bet you're sorry you missed out. No end of croc-spots could compensate missing this experience! |

| 15th October 2008 pear | - From: This Hand Wants Another Beer And Other Personifications Now, c'mon Alex, only girls "sip" their beers. Shame on you. But I'm glad Norfy's back. I was afraid the Skipper threw Gilligan off the boat. |
