Awesome to see Sdelka still living her best life! In a strange turn of events, the traveling Vostok(Vlad) that inspired this thread is on its way to me! I was like 6th in line back in June 2018 but it went missing for a while. Empty slot in the watch box will be temporarily filled.

Boozy **** weekend with the boys and girls in the little English border town of Shrewsbury.
Photos crossing the border on the train from Wales to England.
Black Russian meeting a White Russian!

Sorry about the lack of updates. I've been crazy busy with job interviews, finding business accommodation and getting ready for our South Africa trip. Hopefully some amazing South Africa photos will make up for it!

Sorry for the lack of updates. Sdelka is doing well and has been on some adventures. We are still in Africa with limited connectivity so pictures and stories will have to wait until we are back home.

3rd update and it's BLING time!
On our way back down to Jo'burg we stopped for a tour of a working diamond mine. Cullinan Diamond mine located close to Pretoria in Gauteng province is the mine where the famous Cullinan diamond was found. The Cullinan diamond is the largest diamond ever found, it was then cut into numerous other diamonds, some of which are still the largest cut diamonds in the world and can be found in the Crown Jewels of HM Queen Elizabeth II.
Sdelka was down in the working mine with me, no pics of her though, sorry.
My other passion is Land Cruisers so this was a pretty cool find!
Big rock pecker used to break up the diamond containing stone known as Kimberlite.
A couple of nights in the Dinokeng reserve near Pretoria. Sdelka experienced a South African traffic jam!
Due to the stress of the heavy traffic
we stopped at a "bush pub" only to find a Puma Helicopter which was a rescued veteran of the Rhodesian war.
It's likely that this is a photo of the actual helicopter taking off for Op Uric before being shot down.
Sundowner the night before our flight to Cape Town.
Next stop (and next instalment) is the Western Cape.
