Hi all,
Sending this in from the hotel room on our last night in Africa (currently in Stellenbosch after a day of whales in the sea, baboons in the road, and wine in the glass.

My website/blog (http://home.comcast.net/~gardyloo) is currently frozen with minimal Africa coverage as I exceeded my storage allotment on my host, so next week I will update with stories and pix from Botswana, Victoria Falls and SA - we've taken over 1500 pictures and have stories ranging from cobras by the bedroom to consulting a traditional remedies doctor in a township outside Cape Town.

What a rush.

Later...

Gardyloo,
I've been following your travels, and am anxiously awaiting that trip report. Whales, and baboons, and cobras, oh my!

I had to create a subordinate site to add the Africa (and post-) pages - it's here at http://home.comcast.net/~gardyloo2

Pix up to around 10 days ago are up - more on the way.

I got so caught up in reading your website yesterday I forgot to come back here and thank you for posting it, Gardyloo! Wonderful fun you had!!!

Gardyloo,
Just want to let you know that I enjoyed your website tremendously, John's style of writing in particular. Looking forward to reading more about your trips!

I've updated the second site's coverage of our days in the Kruger Park area with the addition of numerous words and some additional pictures. I'm working on the Cape portion of the trip and will try to have something up in the next couple of days.
