Today I would have landed in South Africa... a bit cranky after a night on the plane but very much looking forward of what the trip might bring this time around. Above all - after years of little rain, I would've gotten to see a green Kgalagadi again. But that's a lot of "would haves" Fact is, the only travelling we are allowed these days is sofa surfing. So I just pretend that... I'll only post a very few pix and they are mostly from our first trips. So quality is not that great but it's al about the memory anways
First night @ Kieliekrankie
The view
Our first braai in the park
It would have been a nice filet with some crisp lettuce dappled with Ina Paarman's blue cheese dressing.
Yum, I can actually taste it
And maybe, we would have seen a leopard again?
(This is Maja, most likely deceased by now.)
Or maybe a cheetah?
(Pudding or Pie, definitely deceased by now.)

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

Re: Once upon a Time when CoViD-19 destroyed a Dream
Dream
When you're feeling blue
Dream
That's the thing to do
Just watch the smoke rings
Rise in the air
You'll find your share
Of memories there
So dream
When the day is through
Dream
And they might come true
Things never are
As bad as they seem
So dream
Dream
Dream
So…
When you're feeling blue
Dream
That's the thing to do
Just watch the smoke rings
Rise in the air
You'll find your share
Of memories there
So dream
When the day is through
Dream
And they might come true
Things never are
As bad as they seem
So dream
Dream
Dream
So…

Yeah, but I got beyond sad by now and am doing this for fun actually.
Having a trip cancelled is the least of the problems out there, I guess.
Exactly
Mainly 2010 to 2013, I think

Re: Once upon a Time when CoViD-19 destroyed a Dream
We only went once a year on our very first trip in 2010,
then in 2012 when we went to Addo instead,
then in 2014 when we went to Oz and
finally in 2017 when we went to Kruger.
The rest - yes, twice a year.
