Hey everyone! I am carrying on my huge backlog of trip reports as and when I find the time to do so – so herewith the start of another belated adventure for you to enjoy. Back in May 2010 my wife and I were fortunate to be invited by my friend Gerry van der Walt […]
Waterbuck Wink
I was trawling through my archives tonight, making space for new files by deleting files that are now 2+ years old that I haven’t touched yet, when I came across this photo.
