Victorian Legacy by Neville A Bailey, on Flickr
I took a casual walk around the neighbourhood and came across the quaint Victorian home, dating back to 1902.

Only just caught up with the last of your holiday photos and I wasn't disappointed. Are you glad to be back home or have you started planning the next tour?

I see the thread has also reached exactly 33,000 views as well so I'm not the only one checking them out.

Hi Andy, the road trip was great and, even though we travelled 5000km in 12 days, it was not at all tiring, as we stopped so often to explore all the little off-the-beaten-track places.

I have been deluged with work from the day we got back, so I haven't had time to think about whether I am happy or sad to be back!

One trip that we have been talking about doing in the not-too-distant future is to Livingstone in Zambia, via western Zimbabwe. So watch this space!

In the meantime, my camera and I will have to settle for the local attractions.

I will be going to the Top Gear Festival on Saturday, so there will be an opportunity for lots of action shots and then, on Sunday, we are hiking to the top of Sani Pass and back, so I hope to capture some stunning scenic shots. Apart from the cold conditions, I am not looking forward to lugging all my camera gear and tripod up and down the pass!

Oh yes, I almost forgot to mention that next weekend we are doing a day trip to the Hluhluwe/Umfolozi Game Reserve.

It will be my first opportunity to use my 500mm lens for game viewing.

Is there room for me on your roof carrier?

Is there room for me on your roof carrier?

Not unless you want to get eaten by a lion!

Like puppets on strings, the stadium roof is secured skyward.

I will be going to the Top Gear Festival on Saturday

That should be good sport. And at least you can walk there (as a little warm-up for your Sunday hike). I had to navigate my way past the Top Gear Festival precinct today and it really wasn't funny. Two major routes North blocked off

Umgeni Road from Alpine to Goble was a friggin circus of note

The price we pay for such fun and games, I suppose.

Calm Before the Storm by Neville A Bailey, on Flickr
The afternoon before the Top Gear Festival...

[Neville Bailey]

I had an awesome day at the Top Gear Festival today, and took over 500 photos!

I managed to trim them down to 99 pictures, which you can view by clicking here.

Hey Neville, had a look at the street race photos. Where were you standing when you took these? I was in the dstv stand and my photos are all plastered with flags, sign boards and safety railings.

Hey Neville, had a look at the street race photos. Where were you standing when you took these? I was in the dstv stand and my photos are all plastered with flags, sign boards and safety railings.

I "accidentally" found myself in the VIP Ultimate section (with my Classic ticket) and took the street race pictures standing right up against the safety railing. I managed to get the safety railing to be invisible due to the high aperture setting I set on my camera!
