No we didn't get lost for 20 years but managed to include this camel ride during a visit to Morocco in 2005

Den & Moi at the Equator
Over the years I have crossed the Equator many times but I think this is the only photo I have to say I did it. Here with our Driver extraordinarie, Den - a Canadian we all grew to love. Would I ever be that thin again - well maybe a few more kilos less until we hit London in May 1986.
A true Sagitarian married to a true Cancerian - yes they say opposites attract & it is true for us - met Grumpy, Dec 4th 1985 - both passengers on what was to be an 18 week African Safari from Jo'burg to London on an Encounter Overland (now defunct company)trek - 20 pax & a driver - well the trip took 24 weeks & our group have re-united in Rotorua in NZ for our 10th Anniversay, on the Gold Coast, QLD, Australia for our 20th & planning our 25th reunion in Canada in 2010. Yes TRAVEL is a MAJOR part of my life - well I started when I was 2 Years Old so I can only blame it on my parents. If you really want all of my life history go to my website http://www.kraftylady.com.au/aboutus.html
Please excuse the poor quality of some of my travel pics - pre digital.
When we were organizing the 20 year African Safari reunion I had to scan many well thumbed photos - a lot I will be loaded up here & are very grainy. From 1980 to around 1995 I lugged around an Olympus OM 1 then a 2 with a bag full of lenses. Since then I have advanced to one of the first Canon Digital cameras - pre gig!!, then onto a Pentax 555 - 5 gig with 10 Optical & recently to a Nikon 40 DX SLR. Possibly on pictures this small for the web you may not notice but I am painfully aware of the poor quality & I apologize now.
