Very clever strategy, to bombard us with all the extraordinary sightings at the end, rather than clutter up the entire TT ^Q^ ^Q^

Then disaster struck...we reached "Storyteller's Junction." :no: :-(

This is a nightmare ritual that happens now and again should one be traveling here with Dwarf, and he asks "Can I tell you a little story about this place?". I have normally forgotten the story, so I say certainly! \O

But Dwarf is a government employee, so everything takes very long... <zz>

The story is that one day many years ago he came to this junction and had to decide whether to turn right and exit at Numbi, or to turn left and go and camp at Pretoriuskop, going to work early the next morning! ;-)

Something told him to turn left...it was like a premonition... :O^

Then he was all alone with a big male lion which bit his towbar and moved the car around and blah blah blah etc. Stole his rubber plug cover blahblah. O**

I found a pic of Dwarf's towbar after his lion encounter... lol

Mommy talking to baby...

q7.jpg
There were now THREE very young babies... 0:
And to crown it all a year-old was also trying to drink! 0*\ :X:
Complicated creatures these!

q8.jpg

Then off back to camp for a rather unpleasant evening alone...I tried to heat up a can of spaghetti and meatballs on a hotplate, and after an hour ate it, with the top half cold and the bottom half hot! O**

q9.jpg

Then off home next morning!

Thanks for all comments and viewers!

THE END
