Hi Christine, and welcome aboard!
Maybe we’ll go back in 2021 too… π.
For Oman, I’m not sure about camping—I haven’t finalized our itinerary yet π, just rented a 4x4 for the two weeks π.

Hi Michel,
Already back from Afghanistan? They let you leave?
We did three "stans" but not that one ;) ... even though at one point Orange told me I was connected to the Afghan network π
See you!
Best,
JF

I left the fish in Egypt and I'm boarding now, wherever I can on this travel journal that's off to a great start! π

Oh, I didn’t know there were layovers in Egypt on the way back from Kenya π€ͺ π ?? I was also thinking it was missing some coral and fish in the Masai Mara... They should just reintroduce them, and next time, you can come straight back π!
Meanwhile, we’re still waiting for your travel journal to progress π. I’ve actually lost track by now...

So you didn’t really follow my travel journal, Guillaume—naughty! π
With everything I’ve got to read, I’m not sure I’ll find the time to post this weekend π

Cool, you made it! Done splashing around with the little fish 😀
Hop on quick, there's still a bit of room on the roof 😏

Hi Isabelle,
I just came across your travel journal. It looks like it was a trip that lived up to all its promises.
Can’t wait to see what’s next. It brings back so many great memories!

Welcome Pascale! While preparing, I obviously dug into your travel journal 😊
I think this country leaves no one indifferent.

By the way, how was it in terms of crowds? Not too busy?

Well, yes and no—it was definitely crowded climbing Big Daddy, and the campsites in Etosha were packed 😅.
But you can drive for miles without seeing a single car, and NamibRand—that feeling of being alone in the world—is amazing 😊.

Really crowded? I can’t even picture it. Too bad Namibia is experiencing a tourism boom.

Hi Jean-FranΓ§ois,
So, how was the trip? Was it love at first sight? Did everything go smoothly?
Hope we’ll get to enjoy it on your blog soon.
Cheers,

Uh... crowded, it’s all relative...☺️
We were still climbing Big Daddy one after another, and at the top there were about thirty people when we arrived 😲

Big Daddy and there were indeed about thirty people up there when we arrived 😲
That’s nothing compared to the top of Everest—there were way more people up there 😵

Yeah, I’d already seen that article 😅
No, thankfully it’s not like that at Big Daddy yet 😊

It’s exhausting keeping up with all these travel journals while already working on my own! π
But I’m not gonna skip out on this fun.
PS Next time, you, me, and Xeta—we’ll make a publishing schedule, okay? π

Hi JoΓ«l,
The great thing about this forum is being able to jump from Thailand to Indonesia to Namibia in an instant without getting too tired 😄
