Heat
Thanks for the comments, and Yes, the places were highly interesting, but the pictures don't show the heat! OR the dust - we had dusty afternoons when the westerlies blew, and in Namibia, there were many willy-willies blowing through - and always a large willy willy on the horizon. One day when we went out for the arfternoon, and left the tent flaps open, the dust blew in and not only convered everything in dust, but got into everything in the open bags and things.... horrible!

Maps
I haven't been able to get the maps to work on the blog either. Rags played with it yesterday but still no luck. Don't think I would have liked the 40degrees but the places look phenomenal!

Whatever the weather!
While we on safari the weather was generally warm in South Africa, while in the rest of the places ( Namibia and Botswana, Zambia and Zim) it was hot as Hades - over 30 and often in the high 30s and early 40s. And yes, it would have been slightly warmer than where you are! Our camera Nikon, did a good job - while my Canon took the photos that Roman didn't get around to taking or the ones that when he had his zoom lens on, he couldn't take.

Animals
Hi Lucy, Looks like you got awfully close to some of the animals or did the zoom lens come in very handy? The hippos photo is my favourite. Bet the weather was warmer than it is here in England!

This site is a really good idea. It's great to hear about your trip but I could use a few more photos. Enjoy your trip into the outback! Drat that Curse (Pattersons of course.)

wow
Hello travellers! Thought you must have disappeared into the ether. The photos look fabulous. It sounds like you are enoying yourselves even with all the hard walking. Keep up the good work (the photos)! Lunch at Mums was very nice. Ric et al did not turn up though. Food was yummy, Robert is well and we spent a lovely afternoon outside. The weather has been fantastic though it did start to rain last night and thunder storms are a possibility today. All is well with us and we expect to leave on our sojourn Wednesday. Lots of love and kisses Roma

Sorry to miss the wildflowers
Hi Lucy, the wildflowers look great. Roman is getting in some good practice with his new camera. Look forward to some great photos. It's good to practice with this blog format first as it takes a while to find your way around it. I never had much success with the map.
