- WeddingMost of you have never seen it before, and you will almost certainly never see it again. It was not by choice at all, and I argued long and hard to prevent it, but In the end I had to Posted by Gelli in Gelli goes South-ish | May 25, 2010
- Sani and LesothoLesotho is the highest country in the world. By that, I mean that it's lowest point of altitude (EG: height above sea level) is higher than any other country in the world. It is a mostly wild, grassy country, home Posted by Gelli in Gelli goes South-ish | May 23, 2010

The puppies and Chris are still doing Posted by Gelli in Gelli goes South-ish | May 23, 2010

- Cape stuffLong Street is theถนนข้าวสาร (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khaosan_Road) of Africa. Alternatively, the Khao San Road is the Long Street of Asia. Take your pick. Either way, Long Street is the big hub of backpacking and backpackers of Cape Town, a Posted by Gelli in Gelli goes South-ish | May 22, 2010

- Another Day with the animalsSo another try at Kruger in the open vehicle does not provide very many wildlife viewing opportunities. We seem to have a black cloud over us when it comes to the animals in Kruger.
