At the Discovery Christmas party last night I made the mistake of asking everybody where they wished to travel to next year. The animated response was the equivalent of asking my 5 year old son what he wanted for Christmas, however I’m sure a Lego Space Station may be a little easier to arrange than a month long sabbatical in Papua New Guinea. This year has seen the Discovery team travel wide and far in pursuit of exceptional wildlife encounters and below are just a few of this year’s travel highlights and next year’s ‘must sees’. It only remains for me to wish you all a very merry Christmas and a travel-happyNew Year. Jarrod Kyte |
