There are many things to see and do in San Francisco. My favourites were:

True, Jonker St has a handful of good …

Namibia Twyfelfontein Rock Art
I visited this UNESCO World Heritage Site some months back while we were doing a 3 week tour of Namibia. The roads leading to Twyfelfontein are dirt roads and they are bad especially the last few kilometres. If one is not careful, travelling at high speeds would be …
