Munitions factory in flames
I remember the day our local candle factory burnt down. We all stood around singing "Happy Birthday". I am also a bit disappointed to see you standing on the dunes barefoot. Where are the sandals?

Green with evny again
Tom it is lovely to hear you are on the road, I was reading my diary from South America last night and it brought it all flooding back. I am sitting in my little office in AKL booking peoples holidays to NZ and wishing I was on a plane and an adventure. I am off to the states in July so that is my next trip. Alas it is only for 2 weeks for my brothers wedding but at least I will be on a plane. I love those long hauls baby. take care great to hear of your fun and surprise!

Poor lad. That mustve been a reheated satays. Always buy freshly cook ones, my friend. Even that, you might not stand the spices. For me nothing beats goat satays.

Good read
Photos fit in so well with your text. The red color of the earth is almost unworldly. It is interesting to note the ease and compunction with which you lend assistance in a locale so sparse with human beings. Conversely, in New York City, no one helps nobody! My best friend is now in Africa, in the bush, transcribing a threatened language. He has started a blog -- but only one short entry so far. The travel blog is new to me. Out of hundreds, I happened upon yours and plan to follow you without really knowing what your itinerary is. --RFJ

Just a little spelling correction in a Polish name
Hi Tom, I've come across your site by accident but I stayed here a bit longer than I usually do on such occasions. You're doing a great job, I must say, though I'm not much of a traveller. Still it's better to have a virtual trip than none and yours are really good. Not that I'm picking on you, but it should be 'Restauracja samoobslugowa' (self-service restaurant). I'm Polish, you see, so you can rely on me. Apart from this one, the rest of Polish names is flawless. Cheers!

With so many South Africans going to Australia these days it seems, it's great to have an Auzzie here!

Thanks!!
As a (proudly) South African citizen, I would just like to thank you for not making SA sound like downtown Beirut, like many foreigners do, many of whom have never even been here! SA is what you portray it to be, "the place to be". Sure, we've got problems. But show me what country doesn't! And next year, I'll be studying at the University of Cape Town, can't wait! So, I'll be moving there from where I live now, in the Free State, very much like moving from Wyoming to New York. Ha ha! Thanks again.

Berlin notes
You certainly remember a lot more form the Berlin walking tour than I did...and I even took notes! Definitely worth the while tho, I agree. Isn't Berlin beautiful, even with it's complex and terrifying history. And I like the Vegemite song!
