Hi All,

Our recent trip to Namibia has finally been uploaded onto the web site
below. It covered Etosha and Caprivi. Hope visitors find it interesting.

Cheers

Hi -
I tried your Etosha page the day you posted, but it was taking too long for
the pix to 'come down', so I tried again today when telephone access is
cheaper....

About eight minutes after I'd clicked on your link, my (non-'standard')
browser told me that 36 images were waiting, 6 were fetching and 41 were
'fetched' - however, none of the pictures showed, and strangely neither did
the usual 'empty boxes' where the picures will come. I'm on dial-up, so I
don't expect lighting-fast access, but usually the first pix load up fairly
quickly and I can look at these while the others load....Now ten mins since
I clicked the link and still no images showing. Have you set your page so
that no pix show until they're all downloaded?

...a minute later, while I was still writing this, my browser crashed.

:-(

Hi Liz,

The settings are as for the rest of the site, with no restriction on all
pics being downloaded before being displayed. The pics are set to download
and be displayed in near sequential order, as portrayed in the text.

Unfortunately there are 80 images to go with that particular page, and so
will probably take a little while on ordinary 'dial-up'. Most of the
pictures are in small format, and only between 20-30kb each.

There are no 'trick' codings used in the formatting of that page, so it
might just be a matter of time, or something else. Reluctant to suggest
anything else, though we use MS Internet Explorer for our browsing, and have
few problems.

Shout if you as still having trouble, and we will check the page out from a
remote station tomorrow.

Regards

I am hoping to visit the Nelson Mandela museum in Umtata; does
anyone have views about whether it's worthwhile to do that, pro
or con?

And any recommendations where to stay? Figuring I like
funky-with-character, as opposed to upmarket, but probably have a
few too many years to go the hostel-route.

Many thanks,

Joe Luttrell
