an End to the Columbus Era

Jan 25, 2009 12:43

The story of our 4x4 named Columbus finally came to an end. When the company that was supposed to buy it back from us had disappeared, we left it in Cape Town with our new police woman friend, Carla, to deal with the situation upon our return from Madagascar. Since the company that owed us money had evaporated, we wanted to have a little polite ( Read more... )

привет :)
вот вроде давно уже решил ничему не удивляться, но...оказавшись добавлен в число читателей сего журнала, всё же удивился весьма, теперь вот третий день его читаю и смотрю фото [и я ещё называю себя фотографом, но куда мне до тебя]:)...
однако интересно, как, собственно, мой "журнал" попал в поле твоего зрения? :)

FINALLY! Good job! So is the plan now to fly up to Nairobi, and rent a car or how will you see Kenya? And then fly up to Ethiopia or will you drive up there? I've always wanted to drive Cairo to Capetown...

In other news, we're going to nicaragua in the spring for a whirlwind tour (inspired by you!). Clothing-wise, is it okay to just wear shorts and t-shirts, or do we need to bring something else? I know that when we were in Egypt and other countries, the people could be conservative and we were told not to wear shorts or short sleeved shirts in mosques, etc, so I didn't know if there was anything culturally equivalent to that there.

I was just thinking that I haven't seen you for a while :)
Latin America is a lot like a Latin music video - hot, spicy, and if there is no girl in hot-pants in sight, there must be something wrong. Sure you mustn't disrespect places of worship with skimpy outfits, but I bet you wouldn't do that anyway.

We, as usual, don't have a sure plan about transportation in Kenya - we'll see what their wildlife authority says, and then decide. In Ethiopia we'll rent a car for sure.

Respect однако! Поколения путешественников будут равняться на этот пример!
