Ha!...Charged you $50 per day for the lens!

Thanks! The whole trip was in-a-way-no-choice-got-to-go because my wife decided to bid a quarter final tickets 9 months ago. She ended up getting the tickets with absolutely no idea what teams will be playing in the game. So, we decided to go. Cape Town is a very nice vacation spot. Combined it with 5-day Kruger National Park tour and it would be perfect.

Many people got the wrong concept of South Africa. It is pretty modern and people extremely friendly. When I was at Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, there was a large group of kids on a school excursion. I was keeping my DSLR and a kid came up to me asking "Hi! Do you want to take my picture? I said "Yes! Of course". I think it is a good pic, with genuinely, happy smiles on their faces.

Common sense prevails when travelling overseas - keep Rolex at home, keep excess cash and passports in the hotel room safe, keep only photocopy of passports with you,

Nice series! You went there free n easy?

Yep. I am a free n easy person. I hate people telling me what time to sleep, eat, etc.
