Sharon's winning photo - as promised -




"Sharon Jenner's stunning photo of a chimpanzee taken at Edinburgh Zoo's Budongo Trail won the prize for best photo in the adult competition."

No further comment really needed other than Sharon rocks. And needs to post some more of her photo's (ie catch up with 2007....) :-)

New Year's eve in Cape Town

Hi Folks,

Happy New Year all.

We're in Cape Town and celebrated our new year on the waterfront, with beautiful food, fireworks and half the rest of South Africa.

Lots of fun in Cape Town - highlights so far:

  • Having a shower in the room, plus ensuite toilet - LUXURY!!!
  • Tour down to the Cape peninsular and cycling through the national park, stopping by the ostrich family with 9 chicks, who were a it watchful but not aggressive - fortunately!

Wineries tour was fun however disappointing in that we only did 3 wineries, could have done a few more. Stellenbosch and surrounds stunning. Driving past Wellington, SA was a touch nostalgic too!

Hope everyone is well, we are here for two more days then on to Sydney. Finally, OUT OF AFRICA - wish us luck in Aussie customs getting our potentially Foot and Mouth soiled footware into Oz...

Cheers,
Anthony and Sharon (soon to be bare foot).
