Cheetah Colin

We still love seeing all the wildlife in Africa but we are tired of photographing them. Now we act like the animals when we see them. It has brought a whole new level to our safari drives.

More Namibia

Only 8 days to go until the overland trip is done. Here are a couple of photos from Namibia:

Colin & Patti at Cape Cross, also known as the stinkiest place in all of Namibia. We saw thousands of cape fur seals. You can make them out in the background.

SPITZKOPPE! This was the beginning of the amazing Namibian scenery.

Colin's award winning photo of the starry sky in Spitzkoppe. GORGEOUS!Our anniversary! We spent it watching Cheetahs tear apart donkey meat. We also got to pet the cheetahs and their little cubby.

The Gods Must be Crazy!!

For those that haven't seen the movie we just lived it! A guided full cheek tour with the San bushmen in northern Namibia.

CHECK OUT THIS ASS!!

Okavango Delta

2 days poling in the Okavango Delta by traditional dugout canoe. Actually being poled around in a traditional dugout canoe.

I like this photo but please don't encourage Colin to keep this facial hair!

Photo Appologies

Internet has been, how do we say....dodgy in Africa. This has limited our abilities to upload photos. We also filled up the Picasa web page, we do plan on starting a new one once we have better internet. When we arrive in Cape Town (two weeks from now) we will spend a whole day working on photos.

Sorry again.

Livinstone Adrenaline

We made it to Bostwana yesterday after an adrenaline packed 3 days in Livingstone, Zambia. Day 1: swimming at the edge of of Victoria Falls, Day 2: Body Boarding the Zambezi instead of Rafting! and Day 3: 330ft Bungee off
Victoria Falls Bridge.

Here are some Rafting pics:

Us and our Guide enterring the first Class V rapid of the day known as the "Muncher"on the body boards. It was followed closely by "Gnashings Jaws of Death" another class V rapid.

Patti and our Guide in the "Muncher"

Colin enterring the muncher.

In the afternoon we got in the rafts which didn't provide any more protection. That's Colin hitting the water while Patti is somewhere below after we dumped in a rapid called "Mother".

Fun Fun Fun

ZANZIBAR!! And MALAWIAN PIG ROAST!!

We are a little behind with the blog due to some bad satellite internet in southern Tanzania and Malawi but here is a little update.
We ended the last portion of our overland trip with 3 days in Zanzibar. The water was the most beautiful turquoise colour and the beaches were endless. We rented the fancy motorcycle shown in the picture below and toured all around the island. We only got lost once!! To get back on track some local villagers showed us the way.

Our trusty Honda 250 dirt bike!!

Patti trying on some lipstick at the spice plantation. We can't remember the name of the spice but the local ladies wear it as lipstick.


The inside of a nutmeg nut!! Wild eh!?

MALAWI!!! Since we were devastated by missing the annual Clearwater Lake Pig Roast, we convinced our tour leader to roast us a pig on the shores of Lake Malawi. It was an amazing place and a tasty pig!!! Miss you guys and hope the pigger went off without a hitch.

THE PIG!!! NO WHERE NEAR AS BIG AS A CLEARWATER LAKE PIG!!!
