I am glad to report that my Speedo is in fact in spectacular condition, but unfortunately my Tilley Hat and my Camera aren't doing so hot -- this may have been noticed in my post on the Philippines given the big tear in my Hat and the little glowy spot on about 20% of my photos featuring bright objects... no really... I don't know how that eyelash got behind the lens...
Anyways... see below my poor old Tilley... well loved... well used... and just... well... awesome...
And Behold! my new Tilley!!! I took in my old Tilley and it was replaced free of charge by Tilley Endurables, under its Lifetime Warranty. I know that certain people... Flily... will perhaps be disappointed that I replaced my dear travelling partner with a hat just as unfashionable, though extremely functional!, but alas, it is done, and my new Tilley is ready for adventure...
As to my Camera. It was a fantastic Camera and it did its duty in conditions far beyond what it was designed for. It took photos at -42 C at La Carnaval, and in pouring rain in China and the Philippines. It will be missed...
And now, the new Camera. 6 more megapixles than the last, GPS, shock resistance from 5 ft, freeze proof to -10 C, and waterproof to 10 m. This camera has the same amount of zoom as the last (5x) and about a zillion features, including HD Video, and supa' cool Panorama shots. I have been testing it out, and it shows as much promise as the last Camera.
It is always sad to go from a well loved piece of equipment to a new piece, but one day you can look back at that old adventure gear and smile... as for the new pieces... the time to start smiling is today.
Ye. Haw.
so glad to hear the speedo is still up and running otherwise I don't know what the world would come to haha
