Hive account@cicisaja I'm really glad you enjoyed the read and hope that you can find the time to also travel in a similar fashion.

To answer your questions, the billiards table was in a busy market in a town outside of Durban, South Africa. We were wandering around that day and came across a really cool spice market as well... see below (sorry, for some reason the pictures keep posting sideways). I really like the pic because of its randomness, specifically its location and craftsmanship (see the ball catcher!?)

The macaq was actually in a tree about 15-20 feet away, if I remember correctly. My camera is a Panasonic DMC-FZ200, which is a more user-friendly version of a traditional DSLR. Basically, I wanted the ability to zoom in on wildlife/scenery without compromising space in my bag with the additional lens.

I'm encouraged by your comments and will continue to post some of these photos!
