I never got to Etosha - though I travelled up the Skeleton coast and even flew to the Kunene - and went into the interior a little way .. <br /><br />Fascinating place .. I loved it and now would like to revisit .. I've got my letter of x number of pages of the journey and route that I mapped out after our visit - we were on what became a private tour - we were very lucky.<br /><br />Thanks .. love looking at your photos and story line .. cheers HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3772078074457885561.post-82069488124173175882011-12-03T14:00:29.959+02:002011-12-03T14:00:29.959+02:00Thanks Hilary - Tsumeb was once (and still is) one...Thanks Hilary - Tsumeb was once (and still is) one of the most famous Mineral locations in the world ...OneStonedCrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00500359406575114699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3772078074457885561.post-11017386496922386322011-12-03T11:42:41.336+02:002011-12-03T11:42:41.336+02:00Hi Graham ..
