Your explanation is fine!

What a lovely oasis there in the desert, they obviously get lots of water from the huge river!

I'm sure there was nice bouffe from the braai!

Sad to leave the park, but you will be back, and thanks for the compliments about SA people...we like to be hospitable!

yes, lot of storms... maybe more stronger in a semi-arid place, without, how can I say... brake
indeed lovely oasis at my friend house, but no bouffe from the braai, Judit, the mother of Evelyne is Hungarian so she make a goulash and vegetable, they thinked we have had enough braais in the park. The long of the river, in the slope, all is very green... maybe less than 1km and then dry... dry... dry
yes all Sud-african that I met, were tip-top (more than better).
I will come back… I don't think so... alas
Mel will give me some news
I will miss the fire at dusk... the heat, this morning it was only 5° in the morning, in May , … and… and…
I'm in love with SA and travels of course

We unloaded everything Johan and me. It was annoying… long and tiring

We returned the car at the airport around 3 p.m. and we decided to take a cruise on the Orange River, this evening from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. for sunset.

Orange River

I'm going to drive Johan's car ... with the help of 3 ......
Evelyne admitted the next day that we couldn't see anything in Johan's car that evening, the lights were set too high for us two small sizes behind the wheel. I saw nothing on the side of the road, I could have crushed someone

The cruise was magnificent, we even got a Fish Eagle, apart from the music, much too loud, everything was perfect

Reed Cormorant, a lifer
