Wine Wreativity, Diemersfontein’s Wine Estate; Wellington, South Africa
We went to a strange area in Western Cape called the wine lands. The farmers grow grapes, white ones, red ones. Wonderful, tasty, sweet grapes.

Be Jealous 10: December 2012
Dear All, Yes we did it. On 15th December we entered the proud village of Laufenburg where we have our apartment. So we completed our journey Maseru2Laufenburg after 9 month and 15days; a total of 290 days of hard work, privations, exiting adventures and incredible dangers.

What the Hell is a Fixer; Khartoum, Sudan
In Karthoum we had a 1st contact on the phone with our fixer in Wadi Halfa.
An Evening in Kilopatra Hotel; Wadi Halfa, Sudan
Nightlife in Wadi Halfa was definitely not that confusing: just listening to the television placed in the middle of the open floor and trying to sleep.
