Introduction These
are blogs from us and our fellow Lemurs! Lemurs join the pack and do all sorts
of jobs, for as long as they can! They send us hotel information, updates on
travel routes, advice on different regions and share their blogs with us.
Sometimes they are republished blogs (in which case we mention it) and sometimes
they just send us links from their sites.
All
to help charity!
As easy as that! If not, then we hope
you enjoy the mini-blogs of other travellers that we have here. Elli
