So many photos and such limited blog space

The view from Table mountain in Cape Town overlooking Lion Head.

After seeing the Sea lions Rachael and Laura had a look around the stalls. How much kit does someone need for a 30min boat trip?

These South African Penguins have decided to abandon the cold climate of their relatives and go to the beach to breed.


You have to have shops nearby just in case you run out of milk or something.

The middle of a Cape Gannet colony is a busy, noisy and smelly place but wouldn't this make the best jigsaw?

All three of us standing by a tree (rare in these parts). This species of tree was used for arrows but its now illegal to do so, easier to use a gun anyway.

Fish River Canyon is the second deepest canyon in the world after the Grand Canyon. I won't even bother trying to point out the people in the valley.

Dinner wasn't for another 3 hours but Rach and Laura didn't want to miss it. This campsite had rabid Jackals walking through... nice.

Sunrise on Dune 45 in the Namibian desert. Anyone got a bucket and spade?

This dried up river bed provided water for these trees for a while but is long gone now. With no moisture anywhere these trees don't rot.

The fight for the front seat was very violent, but the view from the back was fantastic.

Ostrich's roam wild in the area but they are farmed for food also.

With the desert in the back ground these Bottle-nosed Dolphins provided great photographic opportunities. We also saw Leather Backed Turtle and Heaviside Dolphin.
