So, as the Brat already told you, we decided to take the Maroela loop and were rewarded with our second leopard!!

My dad was starting to feel better but I wasn't feeling too great...the normal flu symptons...sore body, hot and cold, blocked nose...all that lovely stuff!!

We checked in at Pretoriuskop and were allocated Unit 66 which is an EB3 unit, the old dormitory type bungalow, which was very basic...just 3 beds, a fridge and a basin. The Brat wasn't too impressed...he likes a bit of luxury. -O The only problem I had was that there were no outside lights so at night we had to hang a head lamp from the door!

Anyway, my dad and I took our medicine then I went to have shower to warm up. I then put a chair in the sun and relaxed a bit, but I soon noticed a tree nearby that was abuzz with sunbirds. It would be nice if they could sit still for 2 seconds!!

For our afternoon drive we decided to stick around camp doing the loops roads. We wanted to do the Fayi loop, but we kept taking short roads that all seemed to come out at the same intersection
