Wonderful pictures and good info. You're right, much better than a stepmaster.

Windhoek lager is excellent.... lager, especially in the hot days ;-) Finland cold? Maybe, but it is not the weather but the cloths you are wearing. The Namib at night on June was almost freezing as well ;-)

Nothing like finding cool water while you're out on a hike, right? :)
