OMG, that is so special that you got to see a web-footed gecko!! I am a biologist and my hubby and I are going on an excursion in Namibia to see ancient Welwitschia plants. Hopefully we'll get lucky enough to see your little gecko. Thanks for your videos.

I love the comment in beginning - cruising and experiencing cultural awareness - personally makes me more grateful for my life and less fussy about things that go wrong - such as when I am miserable when we loose power in August Deep South after I have my pity party I thank God this will pass and say 3 Hail Marys for folks that this is their daily life. Thank you for that statement and cruisers that always complain get a life you are blessed. To have these problems . Stepping down from my soapbox Thank you.❤

Perhaps wanting more, but very happy with what they had. Thank you for sharing. Makes me want to help others more. We are super spoiled. And Love me some Clarkson! Hope you watched Clarson's Farm. Should be very interesting how you live your life when your trip is complete. How your experiences will perhaps change your way of life. Just from watching your videos, learning to stop more and "smell the roses". Beauty is everywhere.

Nancy, I’m so proud of you that you tried the white grubs. I remember when Kara and Nate went to Africa and I think it was at the lodge. They got her certificate for eating the white scrubs, not sure if it was the same insects. I also remember Andrew Zimmerman bizarre foods Was reluctant to try the white scrubs, but he ate it. So count yourself in the group of brave KZbinrs that have tried the white scrubs in Africa. Sorry I don’t know why Siri is saying scrubs instead of GRUBS. All my messages to you are dictated into my phone because I am blind.

When the ship got rerouted because we couldn't go through the Red Sea due to terrorists Royal did not resell that leg they only allowed the people that were already booked to stay on. Also, many people got off to do other adventures like go to the pyramids. So we only had 700 to 800 people on the ship at that time
