I'm sure it tastes like squashed cow as well, Flutts. O-/

Great views at Olifants! What's the situation with the deck these days? Looking like in your photo?


God put me on earth to accomplish a certain amount of things. Right now I'm so far behind that I'll never die.

[quote="Richprins"]I think Reception is where the prefab was, Flutts...North of the car park? -O-

Reception is still at the same place, only the entrance have moved to the same side as the swimming pool 0*\

Not sure why -O-

So now you have to walk around the building to get to the entrance O/


Next trip to the bush??

Let me think......................

It was getting hotter and hotter!

The website wasn't even working anymore, and the humidity was palpable, which is why I put off any more jogging for that day... 0:









Image








Back at camp, we were happy to be staying in the same unit for a second night running! O/\ ^Q^ O\/ X#X

The residents were also hiding from the heat! O-/









Image









I have copied this tactic many a time...lying next to a cool wall as the sun descends on the other side! ;-)










Image





Mam: "Where is RP?"

Frew: "Don't know...he was here a second ago? :-? And change your nappy, please? "








When I woke up we polished off the rest of the huge steaks and other leftovers we had been guzzling on all day, and received a report of Wild Dogs near Phalaborwa via LatestScipioSightings.org! ^Q^ O/\ \O

We were hungry for predators, and I hadn't seen WD for a decade, so ordered the Dimwits onto this mission ASAP! X#X








Image






Scipio had given quite specific instructions, and we travelled the "4x4 route" near the gate...quite an adventure! O/\







Frew: "Right! The Silver Samoosa conquers the African Bush once more! X#X X#X X#X "

RP: "No, we are still on the normal dirt road... O** "

Mam: "I'll get ready to push so long... :O^ "







Image





The car made it! But the WD weren't there..too bad so sad, nothing ventured, nothing gained! :-0

On the way back, slowly this time, clouds were pulling in faster than the heat could melt them away...a titanic struggle! :shock:








Image





Frew: "Cuminolimbush!"

Mam: "Numuloclimbush!"

All: "Hahahahhaha" X#X












Image







We had a spot of music playing...super relaxed and enjoyable! And quite a bit of rain, in brief patches! O/\ ^Q^ O\/


Topsy-turvy weather! lol
