Robbers Just an update two years on.......
Wild Dog owner has been in touch with us over the years informing us of any updates.
A few of the items that were stolen have been recovered, they have 2 people in custody and there will be a trial in Namibia in June 2010. One of our travel companions will attend the trial to testify.
I've been in contact with everyone from our group and we all are doing well, some took a bit longer then others to get over the emotion trauma and start to live a normal life and travel again.
We have all learnt how to deal with the emotional trauma but I know from personal experience it is still there just yesterday a friend threw something in a laundry tub behind me it made a loud noise and all my fears briefly came back, I had a troubled sleep last night but woke this morning feeling fine.

Loving the photos! Hey you two,
Loving the pictures Brett - nice work! I'd love to visit some of the places you've been to one day, so you're making me rather envious (especially in the cold Melbourne weather - and I'm too scared to go outside because of the flu!)
Speak to you soon and enjoy Alaska xxx
Enjoying the updates Once again great photos. Looking forward to the ones from Alaska as we will be heading there next year. Is the motor home very big? Enjoy the rest of your trip.
whoooo Oh Corinne, you are a cheeky chick! looks and sounds like so much fun you guys! Always enjoy sharing your adventures....keep the updates coming! safe travels.
Love Heather x
wow Very nice you guys have a supper time. Cornnie mind you don't get a cold ! Hope it's turning out to be as good as you both dreamed. Looking forward to more updates.
Canyon size Yep guys the enormity of the canyon is impossible to verbalize or even photograph. Even the time for it to form (20 million years or so) is beyond imagination. The only thing I could feel was my own insignificance in the total scheme of nature !!!
Love your Blog Hello to you both.
Hope you are having a wonderful time, love the photos.
Take care, Im sure there are baddies there same as in the bush in Africa
All the best

I'm having the best time Yep, I'm having the best time here back at Melbourne. I can see all the way to the dandenong ranges from my desk (I'll post pics soon), and if I walk around to the lunch room I get a wonderful sprawling view of Port Philip Bay. Sometimes large metal things float through around, I'm still trying to arrange a closer look but disctractions back at the desk keep me occupied. Well I'll write more once I have arranged some more free time!! xx
A Month in America ? Well that sure beats my last holiday to Caloundra !!!!
Have a fantastic time guys.
Looking forward to seeing the photos
All the best

Shocked I am a great fan of Namibia and couldn't imagine anything like your experience happening there, so I am very shocked and saddened you had that awful trauma there. It must have been awful and I am so glad you were not physically hurt, and I hope you can overcome the mental scars.
So sorry to hear of your ordeal

Hang in there! That sounds awful. Good to hear you're okay. It's a shame you lost your photos from the first 4 days of the trips. The cards, money, etc, can be replaced, but I feel your pain of losing the photos. Even more priceless is your lives, which you're both walking away with.
Try to look at it on the bright side: you're walking away with a hell of a story and are visiting South Africa, now, too. :D
