Unplanned Addo Trippie (November 2015)

Post by harrys »

This trip was unplanned but very nice and a first trip to Addo for me and Bookworm O:V ^Q^

The photos was 80% Bookworm and 20% me O**

After leaving home at 22:30 on 5 November and driving in the rain from Kroonstad to Cradock I arrived at 7:50 in Cradock and waited for Bookworm and mom to arive \O
Just have to add....I wish I had a camera to take pics of the lightning near Kroonstad and Bloemfontein, it was really something awesome to see \O

We had a nice breakfast at Wimpy and then Alet left for home and we left for Addo. We booked in at Addo with no hassles and I passed out on my stretcher in the tent, while Anja kept herself busy with her phone.
Photos of our drive to follow \O

Harry if I had known you were heading this way I would have made a plan to get to the park to say hi! Looking forward to hearing all about your visit...

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