Ralph Hi Lee, great to meet up again with you and Bob in KTP, shame the park was a bit on the dry and dusty side
Ralph Hi Kay and Dave, good to hear from you and we trust you are enjoying Oz or California at the moment. Pity we didn't get the motorhome to Croatia, everyone says how nice it is! Happy significant birthday to Dave
Ralph Hi Mike & Sue, hope the house hunting is or has been successful? Can only dream of snow here in Maun Botswana, locals were asking us if we were scared when it snows, in case we freeze!

Ralph Thanks Steve, didn't realise you had internet access in HM prisons these days
Mike & Sue Great stuff, Guys. Have a great Christmas. Hope Santa can find you! xx
Ralph Hi Mike and Sue Santa did find us but he died of heat exhaustion! Good luck with the house hunt
Steve Legge Hi Ralph and Angela . Trust you are well. We are set to head for the Kgalagadi again next week. Chris' sister and the brother in law (Portsmouth based) are here and gearing up for the trip. Rooiputs, Nossob, Polentswa, Mata-Mata, Kieliekrankie/Urikaruus on the agenda and there for just under a month. Well into 40's up there so should lose some weight counter-balanced by liquid intake. When's next trip?

Ralph Hi Bim and Linda, thanks for the comments, you guys are overdue an Africa re-visit. If you are planning something we can highly recommend Lagoon Camp in Botswana (Kwando Safaris). Better than Xigera.

Ralph Hi Lee, thanks for the comments, good to see you both in KTP. The leopard amongst the wildebeest was a one off, one moment peace and tranquility, next moment total mayhem. Glad they are getting rain, we are having it here in Kasane, Chobe was a quagmire yesterday, huge puddles to negotiate!

Bim and Linda Ralph and Angela, glad to hear your trip is going well with the usual adventures. The photos look great.

Lee Grogan Great to hear from you and sorry to hear about the damage in your house back in the UK. Ugh. You can soon officially switch from Landy repairs to home repairs. Oh joy. So lovely to see you both in KTP this year. I have seen on Facebook where they are now getting some rain there. We didn't have a drop in 3 weeks. The leopard/wildebeest charge sounds totally thrilling. All the best....

Ralph Hi Mike & Sue, been in the wilds of Botswana. Happy Easter to you, not many Easter eggs here but we did get hot cross buns in the Spar here in Kasane, Botswana. Hope all well with the house hunting?

Jan & Terry Amazing photos, fantastic experience. Shame it's nearing it's close, but the good side is--------. No, there isn't a good side! See you at the airport - nearly 13C here at the moment. Wow!
re: Close lion encounter
Mike & Sue We were wondering what you were up to. Fantastic photos. Happy Easter and mind your chocolate doesn`t melt in the heat!!

Ralph Hi David & Nadine, good to hear from you. We are now longing for the heat of Marakele after a miserable wet week here in northern Botswana!

Ralph Hi Ann, thanks for compliment. In Kasane, next to Chobe Nat Park. 50,000 elephants have disappeared after 3 days of rains! Heavy rain all night and this morning, park is a 4x4 playground. Feels like Alaska!

Ralph Hi Carol, many thanks, have been a bit short of WiFi access the last 3 months and semi retirement is proving a full time occupation! Returning to UK 15 April, tank leaked in roof so hall carpet, ceiling and walls damaged. Can't wait to start the DIY!!!
