The BIG ADVENTURE
As part of my Jubilee celebrations towards the big Five Oh I decided on a solo trip of a lifetime, exploring Botswana, then on to see the Victoria Falls, heading south through Namibia, back to South Africa. The budget was less than shoestring and inexpensive Baked Beans appeared on my menu.
The older posts are about my preparations and the newer ones are from my adventure to date.

Janet, I KNOW it is this STUPIDITY of believing elephants and rhino horns are making men more potent. I wish I knew the Chinese education minister (do you, or does anyone?), or a Chinese journalist with access to Reuter`s, or SOMEONE with influence who can EXPLAIN this to those crazy, stupid, selfish GUYS! ARRRGGGHHHH!
There is a rumour that's been doing the rounds in Asia, started in Vietnam five or six years ago, that rhino horn had cured cancer in a former politician. The politician was not named, nor were there any details on the cancer supposedly cured. But the rumour spread rapidly and the price of rhino horn surged, recently hitting a record high of more than $60,000 a kilogramme – a higher price than gold. This prompted poachers to dust off their rifles and take greater risks.
I shared it Janet, i hope that it does some good, anything is better than nothing. You keep going and best of luck.

I can't believe this is happening. I even heard rhino horn was supposedly marketed in Asia as a virility drug. The stupidity of humans is staggering...
Powerful video. I have shared it on FB.
