Crossing the border into Italy in the evening, we were pretty thrilled with our first Italian Park4Night spot, right next to this very old village that is currently being restored. We loved our time around the lakes and rivers of France so decided to head straight to the Italian Lakes...

Nathan, Michele and Enzo generously agreed to let us take their campervan to Europe so we flew to London to pick it up. We had 2 nights in London and used the time to catch up on sleep, washing and Formula1. We also fitted in a very British activity -...
Istanbul & Greece

We had a brief stopover in Istanbul on our way back to Europe from Africa. We’d had an overnight flight from Cape Town with little sleep and found the heat of the day a bit of a shock, so we didn’t push ourselves to see or do too much. These...

From Maun, Botswana, we had two reasonably big drives to get to the eastern entrance of Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park (KTP). This ‘Peace Park’ was created in 2000 as Africa’s first national park that straddles two countries (Botswana and South Africa), and borders a third (Namibia), with an aim of creating...
I swear some of those photos are almost identical to ones I have. I remember the mongoose running through the camp. And the giraffe drinking! Thanks for re-igniting those memories. I’m hoping to do a road trip in a couple of months and will miss not being able to catch up as I pass through Wellington. Travel safe!
Oh I’m sorry to miss you. Funny re the photos – I guess each animal only has a limited number of poses . One of our funniest encounters was “tai chi elephant” – he moved the smallest amount at a time (an ear move, a slight bend in a knee, the smallest turn of his head) and then he stayed in that position for minutes before another small/slight move. We watched him for about 30 minutes and he moved so little in that time! So funny!
So many animals!!!!!!
You guys even saw jackles??
I think they were jackles.
Yes threy’re jackals and they were absolutely everywhere! We followed one around a bush for 5 minutes trying to get photo of him, but it eventually ran away!
