If you’re over buses, restrictions and timetables and looking for freedom, adventure and style, then we have found the perfect solution. Think freedom, thinks space, thinks comfort, think peace of mind, think wicked fun ,think Wicked Adventure!
PJ found them at a networking session in Observatory and just loved their wickedness.

Meet Nick, with one of his wicked vehicles when he visited us here at Riverlodge.

Christiaan, who works with us, has a real passion for soccer. He plays in a team participating in a local league and they might just win it this year.
This however is not where he spends all his soccer passion.
Christiaan coaches a young team called Tsamaya. We are very proud to have the first official photograph.

Unfortunately there's no official league for them yet, but they play quite a few friendly games and some smaller tournaments.

We were sad to see our favourite German tourists leaving this week. After almost a year in Africa, they decided it's time to go back home. So we got all their papers ready to ship their yellow 4 x 4 as well as their little dog and off they went on Tuesday.
To Lutz and Maria, we can't wait until your next adventure in Africa.

We didn't have much time to miss our friends, as Ian drove his 4 x 4 into our camping area on Wednesday.

Ian and his trombone has been traveling since January from England, coming down the West Coast, using his trombone to interact with people he's met.
Have a look at his website; www.overlandtrombone.com

Why the European Union is so quiet about this ?

Where is Green Peace, who make so much noise in other countries... .
This happens only in uncivilsed Denmark

DENMARK: WHAT A SHAME, A SAD SCENE. THIS MAIL HAS TO BE CIRCULATED. THERE IS NO WORSE BEAST THAN MAN!!!!
While it may seem incredible, even today this custom continues, in Dantesque, - in the Faroe Islands, ( Denmark ) . A country supposedly 'civilized' and an EU country at that. For many people this attack to life is unknown– a custom to 'show' entering adulthood. It is absolutely atrocious. No one does anything to prevent this barbarism being committed against the Calderon, an intelligent dolphin that is placid and approaches humans out of friendliness.

Make this atrocity known and hopefully stopped.

Mass Strandings in South Africa

After May's mass stranding at Kommetjie (see our previous blog), we have been thinking, is this a regular occurrence? And if so where and when. Luckily we subscribe to some awesome mags, such as Divestyle.
They did all the work on compiling the information, so have a look at this month's (July/August 2009) edition, pages 62 - 66. Or visit their site www.divestyle.co.za

Have you experienced such a beaching? Please tell us all about it.
