(and what was gained)
What happens when you combine three blond Finnish girls, a strange welsh man, a temperamental 4x4 called Imogen, and a gay Zambian alcoholic albino giraffe (inflatable)? A four-and -a-half week road trip across Namibia, of course. Posted by Ofelia in Where is Maaret? | Mar 20, 2009
- Not the ideal ending
You always look back and think “what if”. You replay incidents over and over in your head. It is a natural human reaction, and I am especially prone to it. What if... If only... Why didn't I... But for me, Posted by Gelli in Gelli goes South-ish | Apr 21, 2009

The strange beauty of Imogen.
Imogen, named as by now you will have realised for reasons which have been long since forgotten by everybody, was pretty much a tank. But for a confused Welshman and 3 Finnish women who were excited Posted by Gelli in Gelli goes South-ish | Apr 13, 2009
- The trials and tribulations of Håkan-Sven
This is Håkan-Sven. Why he was named Håkan-Sven is now lost in the midst of time and was never very interesting anyway. Actually, there is no picture of Håkan-Sven here as we do not deem him worthy enough of a Posted by Gelli in Gelli goes South-ish | Apr 13, 2009

Walvis Bay (or, if you prefer, Walvisbaai) came as one hell of a big shock.

After almost a week in tents (and in my case without a sleeping bag) I was pleased to arrive into Swakopmund - Namibia's second city and the adventure capital of Africa.

Bordering Botswana, South Africa and Angola, Namibia is primarily desert with a sweet coastline that does a number on any boat that comes even close to landing on her shores.

I know that's a random way to start off the blog but it was hilarious and I can't find another relevant part of this entry to mention it. Fortunately it was a baby giraffe and Posted by vandewme in Mary and Colin's Great Adventure | May 1, 2008
