Entertaining as usual! Had quite a few good giggles - for example about the airbag in the flap 0-

I ordered Gump to go and visit the little pan on the S130 near the tar road!

It was dry, but one can see the rain had fallen on the parking - ironic! :shock:

A nice close giraffe - on Gump's side again, but I had the hang of it now! :O^

And a quick sweep of the Low-level bridge!

I must say it was actually very pleasant, with the tea flowing a bit. It had been a successful trip in despite the Garmin screaming every now and then, and we were at our destination.

Nice light! :yes:

Then I noticed something through the binocs that I at first could not comprehend. It looked like a frontal view of one of those giant Galapagos tortoises. Maybe the light was playing tricks, but I eventually clicked it was the biggest terrapin in Kruger. The pics don't quite do justice, but one can compare the sizes of the croc and plover in the background?

Anyway - always something new! :-0
