Happy new year to you all. I hope you had a smooth entry into 2006. It has been a while but I have finally managed to add a few new images to the site . They are all part of the 2006 Namibia trip.

My first week of the new year consisted of heavey rain, mud and oh yes more rain. Somehow I also managed to wait out the weather and take advantage of the re-birth of life that the rain brings.

Enjoy the new images on this page and the ones that follow as I settle into my new routine.

The second part of the trip is going to take me to the north of the country, updates will be posted as soon as they become available.
