Hi Sander,

Maybe I am being a little thick this morning (only one cup of coffee so far),
but how do I get to the other pictures? So far all I have been able to see is
the image of the cactus giving me a one-finger salute (which is very nice) and
the map of your itinerary. Knowing you, I am sure there is a whole gallery in
there somewhere, how do I get to it?
