Yes, Namibia but also Northern Cape Province, South Africa for this sub-species, others are found in other regions of South Africa.
Oh okay also Namibia. I have only driven through the Karoo so would not have seen them. And I stayed in a small town called Tsumeb when I was a child so probably would not have noticed them or remember if I did see them anyway.

:eek::eek::eek: That would be too much ..... even for me:D
Well the lottery would allow you to get a bigger place. Then you can get more tortoises. And you would not need to work so can find your love and spend lots of time with your torts and cats[emoji1] . It's a win win situation

Good morning Adam.
Let`s see what the day will bring.:) A lot of money, a new love, an Aldabra tortoise, winning the lottery .....:eek:
I have a lot of ideas.:)
You'll need to win the lottery to buy an Aldabra!
Still, it's good to dream, I really hope you get your heart's desire! :<3::tort:

Well, i went to the post office in the rain to pick up a tracked parcel from a very kind chap on Fossil Forum.
The post office told me, that I now had to pick up my parcels from a different sub post office in the heart of the medina, nearer to where I live.
So I had to walk down the hill and through the narrow twisting streets to there.
Picked up the little box.
Now, this new post office is very small, so instead of the parcels being out the back in the post room, they are just stacked in the corner.
When the man went to sort through for my fossil box, I noticed a big box and one word on the side leapt out at me! !

COVINGTON ! ! ! !

Wait I minute, I recognize that location.

And sure enough it was a massive box from Bea!
@Moozillion
Your parcel arrived weeks ago and has been sitting in this sub post office, someone has nicked my delivery note, or not bothered giving it to me.
So I struggled home through the snaking alleyways in the drizzle carrying my small but heavy fossil parcel and Bea's enormous box ! ! !

Not that i'm complaining, the excitement kept me going and after i'd got my breath back...............

Photos to follow, but I have a lesson in a minute, so can't transfer them til later!

Thank you so much, Mooz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D:<3:
Delightful!!!!!!!!!!!!:<3::<3::<3::<3::<3::<3::<3::<3::<3::<3::<3:

Aldabras cost from 1000 - 2900 Euro in Germany. It cost a lot of money to keep them.
Dreaming dreams is human. As long as you are still dreaming you are alive. When you stop dreaming your life stands still and you are "dead" though your`re living.:eek::D
