I love the Clint Eastwood (sorry for the incorrect spelling, will have to go back a page for your version) part. SO and I love all his flicks, but what else would you expect from a 'Merican.

Re: Damwits - Mopane Full House 2019
Pleasure, everyone!
A few thousand kilometres later one gets to Nyawutsi hide, quite a lovely oasis under a host of apple-leaf trees!
(Never been there! )
It is tiny!
There is a huge parking area, though, and Borderline and I had a smoke while the others investigated. Blessed shade!
The hide overlooks a bit of water!

Re: Damwits - Mopane Full House 2019
It is a silly hide, in my opinion, as one gets the same view standing outside a few metres from the serious viewers!
(We never went inside... )
Onward!
To celebrate Frewells had bought some Guinness Draughts at the shop at the hide!
These cans have an explosive inside that fizzes the thing up when you open it, with sometimes questionable results...
Here is Frewells also demanding food!
Fw: "I am not driving anymore and want a piece of old steak THIS big! NOW!"
So I tackled the steak kilogram by kilogram, but we didn't have utensils really...only a plastic knife from the Effeminate Basket and a Kruger Rubbish Paper Bag for a plate.
We reached the Shingwedzi River !

Re: Damwits - Mopane Full House 2019
It was horribly hot by now, with animals drinking as much as possible!
More giant turtles too!
We were moving along smartly now, with Borderline at the wheel...
The steak was heaven-sent as we should theoretically have been back at Mopane already having a leisurely brunch...
The back of the Samoosa was beginning to resemble a slaughterhouse with steak, blood and Guinness flying about all over the place. A hasty smudged pic through the window:

A dollhouse hide You did not enter Aren't dimwits curious or does it go past their mental capacity
Was there a shop at the hide
Never turn upside down a beer before opening it
Steak? Raw? ??? What were you celebrating anyway
You cannot be sure that it's the Shingwedzi River, there is not enough water
Those turtles look big all right

There was more trees and monkeys the last time we were there

Re: Damwits - Mopane Full House 2019
Afraid of nothing!
(Except the turtles which seem to be getting bigger all over the park now! )
It was the leftover steak from the previous night, Lis!

At least you had not cooked it too much
Come to think of it, I have not had a good steak for 2/3 years I would love one, right now
