Oh....that beach at Haga

Endless peaceful beaches - except when the Bishops and Halls arrive to play cricket!

Peaceful paradise - the Okavango Delta

The images and the news on the television - from the Middle East to Japan, are so horrific at the moment that it would be nice to just drop off the face of the earth for a while. The situation in Japan is uppermost in everyone's mind and sometimes just to be an onlooker is too much to bear let alone be there and experiencing it firsthand. The Okavango is a paradise. Peaceful. Beautiful. Slow, but also fragile and at the mercy of humankind.
