Some pics from my little trip.

[mechsympathy]

Right then we've finally finished removing dust spots and choosing our favourite pics from the 6000 or so we took. The full album will have 250 or so, but I've put our favourite 40 here: For some reason it uploads them from the bottom of the page, so they're in reverse order chronologically

Here's the pick of the bunch... I'm only really proud of a few

Dunes, Libya


Lake Naivasha, Kenya


Monkeys!! (Ok, gorillas.)


Scratchpost, Serengeti


Nacala Bay, Mozambique


Predawn in Etosha


Storm in the Namib desert


And for some comedy value:


Hope you like them

What route did you take?

I took it from the address bar, but I wasn't sure if it just logged me on to my account as normal IYSWIM

What sort of trip did you go on?

See his website

TBH you couldn't pay me to go on one of those overland trucks.

ETA>> And be aware that you get what you pay for. The cheaper trucks have next to nothing included and expect you to contribute to a kitty. We heard some horror stories, including one group we met in Egypt who's truck hadn't made it up there. They ended up wasting 1 month of their 4 in Egypt before having to fly to Ethiopia and racing down to Cape Town from there.

I meant which countries did you drive through!

Martin.

The trip to India is pretty cool too Mind you I did that in 1997, so things have probably changed a bit.

What makes you say that? Have you heard bad things about them or do you just prefer to do things your own way?

Both. Stories like the one above and not being able to go where you want when you want. We met a few of the overland truck drivers on the way and the stories they tell are pretty bad.
