A slice of bread liberally coated with peanut butter then covered in a generous sprinkling of chocolate vermicelli (cake decoration). Eat for breakfast (perhaps lunchtime) and dinner with diet Pepsi. The eating habits of our Dutch friends, Arjan & Patricia, helped Angela and I appreciate the benefits of Britain being separated from Europe for the last 50,000 years. Having thought the Germans were odd (see blogs re Heike & Clint, Florian & Susie) it ...

Hi All "Two strokes and it's all over" Those of you with pure minds (which is all of you of course) will realise instantly that the above comment from Angela was referring to the small size of the plunge pool at Kwara, the luxury lodge in the delta that we spent an all too short 3 nights at this week!

We managed to return to Moremi through North Gate without getting stuck in sand, de...

On the plus side the toilet does have a water supply, which is more than you can say for the shower! People and magazine articles had pre-warned us regarding the state of the ablution facilities in B...
