Congratulations on making it all the way through ….I am planning my trip this Oct (2011) I was in Kathmandu with my friends earlier this year and we did the Annapurna trek (14,000 Ft) and that was amazing ….. And it only inspired me to head to Everest... too bad your tow of you team members had to head back down … Thanks again for sharing your trip with the world … Sonia

a thousand thanks
Loved reading your blog. I'm working on a culinary textbook and your views helped me to tweak my piece on Ethiopia. Despite your dislike of Ethiopian food in Ethiopia, there are many fine restaurants abroad. Hope you try one!

I'm currently reading a book called Roots of Outrage that Sean's Mum sent us. It's about South Africa, mostly set during apartheid and it's so interesting to learn what went on then! It's really cool to read that you're visiting these places. I can't wait to go myself one day.

Hey guys, hope you are well. We don't know much about the lip plates except that the slice the lower lip and slowly increase the size of the plate to stretch the lips. They are mainly used for special occassions. Unfortunately the Mursi were not that interested in explaining much!! Looking forward to catching up with you guys hopefully later in the year xx Love Birgs and Matt

Lip plates
Hey Matt and Birgit, amazing adventure you are having, and a great blog to follow. Quick Q, why do they have the lip plates? Decorative? functional? how long does it take them to grow their lips like that. Really keen to know a little more. Scott and Steph

Hi Mark, great to hear from you. Unfortunately we are not in Sth Africa until later in the year but the football has been great, the Kiwis did really well, we are very proud. We are having a great time and not looking forward to returning to work at all!!! Its amazing, it does not matter how long you are away, its like you never left, still great memories. How is the rest of the family - I hope someone has brought Kerrie a new camera! Take care

World Cup?
Hi Matt/Birgit, What adventures you two are having ! I thought you may be in South Africa at the moment, catching a bit of the World Cup - the Kiwis are doing better than the Aussies ... sigh. Just thought I'd say hello. Been back at work nearly two months (like I never left the place). Keep having fun. Cheers, Mark (from the Tucan trip)

I LOVED your Ethiopa post and photos! Amazing! That Hyena feeding looks insane, but so awesome! I love Ethiopian food and what I've learned of the culture, and I hope to go there one day. My blog is looking for travel photos, reviews, etc, to share. If you have the time, check it out at dirty-hippies.blogspot.com, or email me at dirtyhippiesblog@gmail.com. Continued fun on your travels! Heather :)

Wow, cool, congratulations
Wow, the ring is beautiful. So happy for you both, and what a lovely proposal story to tell your kids one day :-) The Mosaics look like paintings... I can really see what you mean Birgit that the tiles must have been really small!! The sacophagus looks incredible, and the discus thrower is one of my favourite statues - now I know where to find it!! :) So stoked for you both. Enjoy your time through Africa together.
