Rocco - Nice to hear you back. Have you been lurking and not commenting? I guess with opinions as tepid as yours it's not too difficult! ;-)

That's cute, Kavey. I had bucket showers in Meru and you had that marvelous bath. Lucky you!

Awww...c'mon Cindy...It wasn't that bad, was it? We did have the camp all to ourselves, remember?! And at Sosian...and for a little while at Joy's too. I'd take that over a bath any day!

Thanks Sundowner!
It's not, of course, the image Rocco is referring to! GRIN!
I have a photographic print sales site, not that it's been updated for a long time (on the long list of projects to do!) and one of the prints is a partial nude. It's not a titillating portrait but what I would call an artistic study, and it's had some a very positive (emotional) response from a few individuals. I'm not embarassed about it in the slightest as I genuinely view it as art not some kind of weird porn or dating site advert or the like! How sweet that Rocco remembers it all these years later!

Rocco, since you're reading/ lurking why not come back and post properly? I genuinely enjoy reading your feedback on camps you've visited so would be nice to know where you've been since your Fodors absence?!

Sandy, not bad at all! I loved the camp (Offbeat Meru) and especially that we were the only ones there and had game drives all to ourselves. Bucket showers turned out to be much better than I expected. And Sosian, I think I'd like to retire there (if only!). The food at Joy's Camp was the best ever. And the sundowner's. What was that quirky guide's name there? I couldn't remember it the whole time we were there and still can't.

Kavey, you do have the "eye" so I'm sure your photo is quite artistic and tasteful. (Even if someone is trying to make it out as something else.) Do you sell many of your Africa images where you have them? I've thought about finding a place to try and sell some but never have.

Sundowner, I used to sell more but not recently, but to be fair I have not uploaded any new prints to the site for a long time and whole site is in need of major redesign. Last print I sold was in December and was of London Houses of Parliament.

I also have my images on sale via stock libraries and do OK there, though again, I really need to spend some time processing enormous backlog of thousands of images from trips over last 3+ years and get those up and on sale too!

Thanks for your interest.

PS Re bucket showers, I don't mind them at all. We had them in the fly camp at Serian and also at Oliver's Camp, amongst others.

Had lovely email from Rocco, life is going well for him and congratulations are in order. I won't say why, since it's his news to share or not, but am delighted for him. Am hoping to persuade him to come back and post more often! Come on Rocco!

I was looking forward to Elsa's but I must admit, I didn't expect to fall for it as heavily!

Kavey, that's some view (I'll let you decide to which I am referring ;-) )

Rocco, congratulations (if I can speculate as to why). I did read one of your posts about India in the Asia forum, and was glad to see you tackled that trip (I know you spent a lot of time planning and it was off-and-on a few years ago).

Excuse me, but isn't Roccco the same guy who scamed a bunch of Fodorites in the recent past? If so, it's pretty lame to invite him to participate again. Kavey, your photo offends me.

Temba, probably 90% of your posts offend me, but so what?

rizz, 100% of your posts offend me, including your newest scam on the asia forum advertising a foreign money exchange. Seems like something the Secret Service might be interested in. Ted

May I suggest that if rizzuto and Temba wish to attack each other that they do it via personal email (or in person). I am very sick and tired of seeing it on the forum. Boys, you are doing nothing but antagonizing a lot of people here.

regards - tom
