| 8th November 2009 liliram | To be young, and doing the things you do! - From: One girl and her cheetah Can't imagine myself doing the things you do.....complete with cub bites. Yay! I'd faint as soon as they even open their mouths. ;-) Happy for you, doing what you do. And thanks for letting us travel with you through your blogs. It's the only way for some of us. sob. |
| 3rd November 2009 AnnaAdventuring | - From: Wild At Heart Thank you so much for your lovely comments. I really was lucky to have the animals so close. Jenna I have sent you an email with all the details on the project. South Africa is an amazing place to visit, so good luck with your future travels. Let me know if I can help with anything. :) |
| 2nd November 2009 anonymous | - From: Wild At Heart I have wanted to go to South Africa my entire life. Mainly for the animals. I LOVED reading this blog. Great writing, great detail. I felt like I was there with you. ...actually is there a way I could be there with you?! Thanks so much, Jenna* |
| 1st November 2009 JintysJourneys | - From: Walk on the Wild Side I still can't decide which is my favourite cub! All to cute and chubby. Just like boisterous puppies. |
| 29th October 2009 anonymous | Up close and personal - From: Wild At Heart Those animals look like they waited all day to pose for you! Did you just write that one of those elephants bowled into the back of your knees? Amazing story about the lions too. Am not familiar with the TV series but I can imagine your excitement to take those film set pics. I would have done the same. Great adventure, Anna. |
| 29th October 2009 kangaroojack | Excellent entry - From: Wild At Heart Great Blog, superb photo's, thank you !! Andy |
| 29th October 2009 AnnaAdventuring | - From: Return to Reykjavík Yes Ingolfur Amarson was a Viking from Norway. The Vikings, together with Scandanavian and Celtic settlers make up the people of Iceland. It's the same in England, we're descended from Celts, Romans, Angles, Jutes, Saxons, Vikings and Normans but we're still all English. |
| 28th October 2009 jim moberg | My Norweigan heritage lives on!! - From: Return to Reykjavík My friend's heritage is Icelandic, and I always told him Norweigan's were there first. Now I can explain to him about Ingolfur Amarson, a Norweigan who was the first settler of Iceland. We are all brothers, as long as your considered Scandihovian!!! |
| 27th October 2009 Jafar Assadi | Pretty Pictures - From: My roommate's a giraffe! Hi Friend, Your pictures are very beauty and emotional. thank you for bringing me to the lovely World of animals. I wish you more & better travels. Tehran, Jafar Assadi |
| 27th October 2009 Yathi | Awesome stuff! - From: My roommate's a giraffe! Hiya!! Love ur stories from Gauteng. Been to Tiger Temple last year. Cub World seems to be much more fun!! Hope to see them all soon. Keep postin' the pics though. They are incredible :) |
| 26th October 2009 Jeannie | - From: My roommate's a giraffe! I think those cubs would compete with my reception class of little ones. All cute and lovely for the first 20 minutes of the day and then the characters emerge. Another lovely blog. I feel I am there with the animals. Thanks for sharing those great memories. |
| 26th October 2009 AnnaAdventuring | - From: Lesedi Cultural Village - 'A man without culture is like a donkey without stripes' Well apparently there are numerous subspecies of giraffe some of which may be entirely sperate species. Authorities argue over the actual number of subspecies but they generally include Masai, Reticulated and Rothschild Giraffes each of which has differences in colouring and patterns. .... I have absolutely no idea which type I've seen on safari, nor what Gambit, Purdy and Georgina are! |
| 26th October 2009 JintysJourneys | - From: Lesedi Cultural Village - 'A man without culture is like a donkey without stripes' As usual an amazing account of your adventures. Great photos. Did you find out if there were different giraffe types? |
| 2nd October 2009 AnnaAdventuring | - From: Schönbrunn Palace I too was amazed to see the squirrels at the time. It must be a paradise for them. Those beautiful palace grounds must make an excellent home for them all - hope you see them again on your next visit. :) |
| 2nd October 2009 Rita Ireland | red squirrels at Schonbrun - From: Schönbrunn Palace I was delighted to read the 2008 blog about the red squirrels at Schonbrun. We first visited in the winter about 10 years ago and were delighted with them and their boldness. Same time of year, same conditions 5 years later and we saw none and were really worried. Must have been an aberration and am now looking forward to seeing them in the future. |
| 28th September 2009 AnnaAdventuring | - From: Living With Lions 'Gentle' creatures? Hmph! Tell that to my scars! :D |
| 28th September 2009 Katm1987 | - From: Living With Lions Love the panorama!!! Still annoyed you didn't bring me back a lion cub though :( |
| 28th September 2009 liliram | Some babysitter you are! - From: Living With Lions I was just as excited reading your blog esp the part where the cubs started approaching you, and sitting on your lap! Hard to imagine how these "gentle" creatures can grow so big and reign king in the jungles. Have a fun time with your cubs! |
| 23rd September 2009 AnnaAdventuring | - From: Cats and Dogs Of course I took them! The only pictures in my blog I haven't taken would be the ones that have me in them! Thanks for the compliment though. :) |

Have you try the sunset on the Zim sid, it's pretty impressive. Also, if you are still there, you've got to the the rafting...that's another great experience. Following your African adventure, I'm off to Congo on Wednesday...for a singl wekk without much travelling though... |

| 13th September 2009 lurpak34 | - From: 'For safety reasons we do not recommend sleeping in the aisles' Ha ha! I've got a mental picture of a desperate woman climbing out of a window in a skirt! That's what travelling is all about.. |

| 7th July 2009 Keely | The Honor of Death! - From: Meeting Napoleon Oh MAN! If _I_ had a crypt that looked that awesome I'd be so happy! And as people stood in awe wondering 'what amazing thing did this person do!?' they would read onto the carved marble floors "Vene, Vini, Vitari" (She came, she saw, she commented). |
| 29th June 2009 liliram | Nice one, Anna! - From: Sunset on the Seine Enjoyed your blog.... who's not in love with Paris? Looking forward to your next blog, and ur experience with the French 'manifestation', or whatever they call their rallies! |

| 17th February 2009 AnnaAdventuring | - From: Off to the temples Thank you all for your comments. :) |
| 16th February 2009 RickyG123 | - From: Off to the temples India does look awesome, I am definitely going to go there sometime! Some of the pictures just amaze me, its beauty is something else. Reminds me of my travels to China. The temples and tombs are just epic. |
| 16th February 2009 Parin | - From: Off to the temples The experiences visiting temples in India are very fascinating. I love how engrossed the culture is and really makes me want to visit the country! The pictures are amazing. |
| 16th February 2009 anonymous | - From: Off to the temples Wow. Can't wait to read about the Wedding! I would love to visit India someday, my mother was from Bombay, but left for England at 16. It is on my list for the near future! |
| 16th February 2009 liliram | Wonderful Blog...... - From: Off to the temples I have been considering a trip to Mumbai sometime in June to attend a friend's daughter's wedding. Been reading your blogs and enjoying them. Btw, met an Indian lady sometime ago who read my palm too, and gifted me with a small painting. She said I should never alter anything on my face lest my fortunes change. Didn't know what she meant till now. I guess no cosmetic facelifts for me in the future. |
| 10th February 2009 sjs | have a fun wedding - From: Returning 'home' I’m simply amazed by the variety of travel you’re doing, connecting with folks from Reykjavík to Rajastan. From an Indian pov, I can see why people in India would think you’re from there, and it seems you connect with them at a deeper level then just any other tourist. Enjoy your time there, and keep posting your amazing travelogue :) mp |
| 8th February 2009 AnnaAdventuring | Thanks. - From: Walking the capital Glad you enjoyed it... I have to admit I probably spent more time on the blog than any history essay I was given in school!!! |
| 8th February 2009 liliram | Some lessons in history! - From: Walking the capital I swear I never listened to my history teacher back when I was still in school..........but I have been reading up on your blogs and been appreciating all the historical trivia. Thanks for the lessons! Keep writing. |
