Weir travels' Guestbook



23rd August 2009

glad you're back in Windhoek
Hi, Elizabeth-- I've been thinking of you and of Keith, since last year about this time we were out in the Hoanib together. Glad to hear that you're back in Namibia and heading out to check up on the elephants. Can't wait to hear about your adventures in the bush. I went to Tanzania and Kenya for three weeks this spring and saw amazing wildlife...but still love southern Africa (and especially Namibia) the best. For a chance of pace, I'm headed to Russia and Finland for three weeks in September. I've never been there, so I'm madly trying to read up on it. Lots to learn! Hope your travels go well, and please give Keith my best wishes-- Cheers, Rosanna

Back to ...Namibia
Good to hear the latest ..as always. Even more so when I can picture the place and the people (well Marco anyway!). Hopefully next year I will be back ,albeit not to the wonderful Haonib maybe ,but with Tony ,my husband so he can see some of the places I was priviledged to visit. Enjoy it all and travel safe! Jenx

good stuff
Nice to see a picture of clear skies - it's raining so much this summer in NYC that even the ducks in Central Park are waterlogged! Keep sending up dates of your travels - and hope you get to the big apple this year or next.

Liz Great to see the pics of here. Family friends of mine in Scotland did a botanical trup there to hunt rhodidendrons. Never been able to look at one without thinking where they come from

I grew up attending a boarding school in Ooty and visited their again, after 50 years, about 15 months ago. Also wentback to Mysore. Your description and pictures were excellent and brought back excellent memories. Thanks.

What an adventure!
This is fantastic. Great job of bringing to us something that most people will never experience. Aren't you the lucky one! But one burning question - what happened to Dog (my new hero)?

Still Jealous!
Fabulous pics and story. You do have a way with words Ms. Weir. Listen - write as much as you want. Most people will never experience what you have and it's the only way we'd ever get close! Those who want to read it all can. Those who don't can skim. Freedom of choice and all.

Jealousy!
your descriptions are so vivid that I feel that I am right there along with you! And I wish I were. I can see why you spend so little time back here in Greyland! Stay away, stay away and keep regaling us with your amazing adventures!

Count down to Antarctica
Hi Elizabeth, Loved reading your blog, thanks for all your feedback. My trip commences on the 7th Jan. I think I am geared up for it. So many clothes..... Any suggestions you can give me would be most welcoming. Am travelling on my own as my "friend"!!! pulled out at the last minute. I have downgraded to a tripleshare. Thus saving the difference in cost from when I first booked. US dollar rate being most hurtful to the Aussie dollar over the past 6 months. Hope the others I share with will be able to tolerate me... and vis versa. cheers Jo. .

Beautifully, beautifully said... There is never a way to explain all that simply stepping on the continent does to you. It is something that you will have for the rest of your life, a yearning to return and recapture it all

A very different desert
Wow Elizabeth, this is a trip I would love to take, and a far cry from our Namibian elephants! Thanks for sharing it, I look forward to further glimpses. And congratulations on managing to keep travelling all this time
