Not Quite
I too have spent time with Adrian in the prison, but you seem to have your facts wrong. He is indeed guity and he doesnt hide it. Maybe he was having an off day, but Jody and his wife are in jail wrongfully accused due to what Adrian has done. And though he feels guilt there is not much he can do. Check your facts

People get what they deserve!
Adrian Van Ommering was convicted of drug smuggling from the USA to Holland in 1990 after being arrested by the British Police who were working with the FBI he spent time at Brixton Prison and was then extraditied to Miami where he gave evidence against his partners which resulted in a short jail sentence at a minimum security center in Florida. None of this was mentioned at any of the procedings in Thialand and most would think that Van Ommering was caught up in the police sweep, but in fact the police were totally correct in their asumption of crime by Van Ommering.

Great to hear from you!!
Well, perhaps it IS time for a hair cut... or at least a trip. It has been so long since our Gilly adventures and no, mortgages and marriages do not seem boring -- they are wonderful adventures of a different kind. Take care -- keep in touch!!

Tasmania?!?!?
I hope that this devine couple come back to BC and explore around here a bit too ... Eric really needs to get his bum to Savary Island and wiggle his toes in the soft white sand as the sun sets and kisses the horizon and presents the world with the nortorious *jade jewl*, to stroke the wet slick trunk of an Arbutus tree and show the illustrious Elise a softer gentler sort of adventuring ~~ XxX Lia

Incredible
Absolutely incredible rock art. The communication is so startling clear. I have seen rock art here in Arizona but none of it is pegged as 5000 years old like these are. Great photographs. Thanks for taking me to this cave with you through your photographs.

Perpetuating the shark myth
I don't see the story as perpetuating the shark myth - I see it as a description of a perfectly human reaction. We cannot be fully rational and politically correct all the time. At times we react, based on deep-seated fears. If we are to deny that we have fearful incidents with spiders, sharks, lions, elephants, and Thai jails, we would be living a lie. Part of life is overcoming our fears, and part of that is knowing which ones are real and rational.

Eric should be ashamed
You should be ashamed putting all that Graffiti on the walls. Can't you draw better? No wonder you have had to resort to photography.

Bravo and nice to see you ~ again
Lovely to read stories of your travels and to once again awe at your fine photo talents ~~ Elise is stunning by the way thank you for sharing her with us too. Simply had to have a giggle of you visiting Kilimankaro, do you remember me telling the story of our kitten Kibo and how he got his name?!? He was the poor kitty that crawled into the "beer" fridge was sat there all day between the door of the fridge and the broken freezer compartment which had created its own ice wall.....hence Kibo for the ice wall of Kilimankaro, looking foward to future pic's and stories and all the very very best to such a glamorous, adventorous couple. oxoxox Lia

Idendifying birds in your photo's
Hi Eric I came across your blogg while searching for info about the Selous. I'm a FGASA registered guide working in Kruger but I also run a small private safari company............. Anyhow the birds in your photos are 1.Great White Egret 2.Hooded Vulture 3.Whitecrowned Plover (easily mistaken for the Wattled Plover). The Selous sounds like my kind of place have you any info about "doing it yourself" ie driving, fuel, water where to camp etc. Cheers Will

Where are you now?
I also am relying on dialup in Uganda to keep track of you and others. Not easy, is it? The Ugandans are astonished when I explain about broadband and being permanently on line. And to use GoogleEarth to plot a drive from Vancouver to Kelowna, including weather reports. Here you look at the sky and say 'oh, its raining today, better not travel, the potholes will be flooded.'

The Truth...
God knows what really happened. If, as you suggest, Adrian has now admitted is guilt, he certainly has changed his story since my visit with him. Either way, it was an interesting visit.
