Plants and animals are not even my vague area of general knowledge, let alone expertise.
If anyone knows what the unnamed flowers are, do let me know .... provided it's a common name. If it's botanical names for the plants – keep those to yourself! One couple on board were plant nuts. None had a common name: never called a flower a daisy when they could call it Asteraceae. If I ever hear another Latin name again it will be too soon!! Very keen on always doing the right thing they were, except they had a real blind spot when it came to picking flowers.

These are a few photos that worked – or almost worked! There aren't many photos of wildlife simply because we didn't see that many. The country is so vast, and so poor in terms of growing feed, that the animals are few and far between and most of the ones we did see were from the moving bus. If you think some of these photos are bad you should see the ones that didn't make it here!

One photo I didn't even try to get as it never would have worked – sparkly-eyed spiders. Walking to the loo one night my head torch picked up these tiny, tiny sparkles, like pale blue diamonds, so, so pretty. On looking closely, they were spiders' eyes. An opportunity awaits for a professional photographer.
