No - travelling has made vegetarianism more and more appealing.

Not heard of Taga, I'm afraid. I booked my tour to Sossusvlei through Chameleon Backpackers, one of umpteen travel agents in Windhoek.

Wimpy!!
It's funny how Wimpy's show up in places you least expect them to...we wonder, is this the strangest place someone has found a Wimpy?! The last one we found was in Delhi, we got all excited only to discover the Wimpy burgers were chicken (not surprising really!)

Have You Been?
Did you visit San Pedro and the Atacama in Chile? It is the driest desert in the world, according to desert-ologists.

Hi
Been following your blog. Planing a little side trip to Namibia in september. Seems I'll have to go with the "animal viewing" part too....my top priority on my list is Sossusvlei and Skeletons...but doesn't seems easy or cheap to go to Squeletons, so seems I found a nice company, Taga...ever heard of them? Thanks to share you advise. My next African encounter is in March...Uganda!

Fantastic blogs
Hi Jabe, I have followed your travel since you were in China! They are always full of interesting details as well as good overall views - personal but also informative. I really admire how you can keep up your writing travelling through Africa, with all the difficulties you describe. I am looking forward to your blogs from Botswana, a country I woul like to visit myself. It would be nice if you could do a "conclusion" blog on Africa, which countries are the best and which to avoid, although I already guess the answers from your blogs. I hope you will keep travelling and keep writing! Best Inga

It looks like you're finally done travelling. I've really enjoyed reading your posts-actually, I linked to your travelogue from my blog. I wish you the best on the next step of your journey. The bigger life journey, I mean. -Anu

You get around.
Hey McCabe - I just stumbled across your post from your first night in Delhi while searching Google for images of the Namaskar Guest House. Your posts are very helpful as the GF & I are traversing Rajasthan & Uttar Pradesh at the same time of year as you were in 2005 (We land Jan 3, '10). But I just couldn't stop reading - or laughing, so I made an afternoon of it and bookmarked it in my browser when I had to go to work. Now here I am again catching up, but only now do I realize that YOU HAVE BEEN ON THE ROAD FOR 4 YEARS. Not everyone can do that, physically & mentally. My hat is off to you sir.

Reminiscent
Love the photos. I can't say I've ever been to Africa, but in a weird sort of way, your piece reminded me of our neighborhood here in the Republic of Panama. Of course, the architecture and landscapes are different, but there seems from your shots to be a sense of contrast about Madagascar the same as we have here in Casco Viejo. We bought a little boutique hotel here (http://www.loscuatrotulipanes.com) and appreciate the same plants-growing-from-buildings, architectural diversity, and historical significants. That being said, Madagascar has a FAR COOLER NAME! LOL.

Hey
That is a very interesting blog; must put it on my places to visit. I've seen rhinos in Masai mara and since I am from India, they are common in many national parks here.

Yes, I'm ecuadorian and it angers me that these people do this to 'all' people, specially turists. I can only hope that the public wakes up and begin cleaning house since this reduces the potential visitors. Cheers.

I quit the rat race in 2005, after working as an IT project manager for over a decade. I then travelled around the world for 4 years, a period of my life which is covered by this blog. After finishing my trip, I wrote a book about my dissatisfaction with my career, my reasons for quitting my job, life as a first-time thirtysomething backpacker, and finally the lessons learned from being exposed to experiences and people that I would never have encountered if I'd stayed in my office. The book is called "Out Of Office Male" and is available at all the usual eBook outlets. I took a ... full info
