Our top 5 blogs postings feature non-traditional holidays - Katie & Jeff came to do the right thing (joining a mission for African leadership and a group of non-profit docters), Meg Cabot who came to promote her book (and unfortuanately her clothing didn't make it), and Valerie and Sebastian who experienced the area's wide-open space (Valerie in Postmasburg and Sebastian in Namibia).
Our travel blog posting of the month is Sebastian Modak's chronicle of his adventure through Namibia's deserts. The man roughed it travelling on buses and with ice-cold showers in backpacker lodges, and even his attempted car rental with Budget didn't work out (Budget figured out at the last moment that actually they don't have automatic vehicles). On the plus side he was travelling with some pretty kewl people, and to make it all worthwhile - in Swakopmund he got to see its "lego-like" architecture, had "one of the best meals" ever at Napolitana, enjoyed the freezing-cold ocean, got to chat with a philosophising englishman and quadbiked in the sand dunes of the Namib.
