OK, OK… I know I’ve been a real slacker on the blogging.
Thing is we are doing so much and filling each day to the max that there just is not much time left for blogging and since we are camped out most every night we are not near cities with internet access.
Anyway we are now back in South Africa — fully first world– actually after every place else we have been it does not even feel like Africa. Namibia was … interesting… basically a huge empty country. Miles and miles of gravel roads connecting places that in themselves are interesting but driving between them is looooong and booooring. Namibia is the perfect place for a 200 mph airplane.
The sand dunes at Sossvlei were awesome and the Skeleton coast was suitably mysterious and eerie. Pictures to come soon.
We had an awesome time traveling with our friends Brian and Sarah from New Zealand and did all of Namibia together.
Only two weeks left here.

Hey Guys, fantastic trip only seems o so short, compared to others. All in all a truly great trip so far, have been enjoying the updates very much.
I’m looking at blogs to try an make one for us. Did you guys use wordpress & what theme did you use if so? Did you do it yourself? I really like that it’s easy to move around.
Be safe on the last 2 weeks.
Thanks, Dirk
Dirk,
Yes we used wordpress and just made the Africa blog a sub section of a website we did long ago for our sailing trip. (www.ventanasvoyage.com)
A friend of mine who is a word press guru did all the set up of the initial pages and gave me simple instructions on how to do posts, moderate comments, post photos etc. He is a whiz at it and it makes sense to have him to the set-up which only takes him a few hours and would take me or probably you a two week learning curve. If you want his name I’ll be happy to send it.
