In preparation, we have purchased a new waterproof camera, Olympus -Stylus 6000. Aside from the catchy name, it is really practical. This 10 megapixel german lens is water & drop proof (up to 5ft.). It also takes videos and shoots in pana-vision, which we can not wait until we get the Table Top mountain. This slim profile size was also a big factor in selecting this documenting tool.

Tanja and I are planning to cover and blog daily about our trip in the "Motherland". Everything from our ground transportation to the little quirky tid bits that we discover off the beaten path.
39 days and counting...
Stay tuned!
