Hi Lynne

Some absolutely beautiful photos. Glad all going well very envious!! I would love to take the kids on something similar minus the early starts and hard work... Please take care and enjoy

Lots of the the Smiths

Hello Lynne, Just to say how quickly the last 5 weeks have gone. good luck on the new reserve at Karongwe, hope you enjoy it as much as Venetia. Watch out for the snakes!!!

Hi Lynne! Wow, what an adventure! Knew you would be in your element! Just keep taking the photos! Good news is that it is finally sunny here too! Yep, no big cats...but we can share the sunshine! 6 weeks to Cape Town - See you there!

Hi Lynne, You are obviously having a wonderful time and will never want to come back!! However I understand you name has been put down for Car Parking Inspector on 19th July at the Chilcompton Village Day so you'll obviously be back for that! Looking forward to the next lot of 'photos. It sounds as though you are in good company, although the animals being so close sounds a bit scary! Look after yourself.

Sounds like you're having a fantastic time and congratulations on passing those exams. Your driving skills were certainly put to the test. You just couldn't get the same results with your Smartie car. Or could you? Not a lot of culture happening here, but looking forward to our trip to N.Ireland. Our weather is definitely not Hot, Hot, Hot. Today we had thunderstorms. Typical Bank Holiday! Glad your group all get along. Probably just as well, living so closely together! Have a good time in the wilderness. Have fun.

P.S. Just heard that a Chilean volcano has errupted. Wonder if it's the same one you walked up?

Lynne, Congratulations on your exam results and good luck with the next bit of the adventure. Watch out for those Elephants on the road. As we both know and remember................they don't move!!!!!!

Hi Bollyknickers. I've heard you're now on another continent. Hope the natives are friendly! Gene Genie.

Oh and I'm sorry I didn't get to meet up on your last night what with doing all his washing etc. I hope you didn't go to too much trouble? Dinkie x

Hi Lynne, Your latest trip sounds like it's going to be really good and it was great to see you during your brief whistle stop tour of the uk. See you on your return, Dinkie x

Hi Lynne! Your photos were well worth waiting for - fantastic scenery, but the wind surfing one was a little dodgy! Predator research sounds vaguely worrying. Look after yourself. Best wishes, H.

Hi Lynne - great news - you've eaten meat!!!! Don't do anything else radical, I'm not sure my little world can take it. Now I know why you went away - remind me next year to take annual leave for the last two weeks of March! Good to see you are having a fab time of course and as you can probably tell from your brief return the weather here is rubbish and you are missing nothing. House goes on market next week but I've told the smarmy estate agent if my mate returns from her travels not only eating meat but having adopted a small family and their extended family she has 1st refusal!

Hi Lynne - stunning photo's - loved the penguins in a line! and really want to go to those waterfalls!! Hope the predator research goes well - don't get too close they may NOT be vegetarian! You are missing nothing at work - year end has come and gone with no real surprises. Keep having fun and keep posting the pics. Sue
