RARE ENCOUNTER
The Okapi is the only living relative of the giraffe, not the zebra as one would presume With reddish-brown fur that is as soft as velvet, the Okapi's coat is oily making it water proof. They are approx 2 – 2.5 metres in length and approx 1.5 – 2 metres in height. Their diet is mostly leaves, twigs and fruit and they can eat up to 29kgs a day.

The earth was literally hissing - sighing with relief?
LETTER FROM ETHIOPIA
DIRE DAWA is gorgeous. Its clean (unbelievably clean), and cobbled streets, old colonial buildings but European style rather than English colonial, mixed with a bit of Arab. Its quite green and ringed by mountains and has a charming character with the horse drawn buggies and the tuk tuks dashing around. I have nearly been run over numerous times as they drive on the right-had side.
