Kia ora!Hi everyone! Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you all - hope you all had a holly jolly time. We have been in a bit lazy and not said hello for a while because we've been in luxury! A house, with a clean bed, and our own washing machine - it's all too much! So we last said hello from Franz Joseph Glacier - we spent 3 nights there. On Christmas eve we walked through the "bush" -more like rain forest- on the long route round to the glacie...

The last blog I wrote was just before we hit the Okavango delta - the trip there was just amazing. It takes two hours by road then an hour and a half by boat from the nearest town to get into the delta, from there all you will see is hippos, pythons, crocs and whatever land animals are hanging around. It was...

And so to botswana!! We both loved Namibia and were sad to say goodbye. Spent the last few days out in the sticks with only one night in civilisation at windhoek (said vindhook, lots of german influence in the country). A huge city in the middle of nowhere, lots to do and very friendly people. Even managed to find a pricewaterhousecooper office! Spent two days in Etosha national park, not as much wildlife as kruger but it does have a floodlit waterhole right...
