What a fantastic trip you had, steamtrainfan,

and that dinner looks amazing

Furthermore I am totally green about your acacia pied barbet

Hi Pumbaa. It was indeed a fantastic trip and will not be forgotten easily.

Pity my photo of the Barbet could not have been of a better quality.

A great road trip adventure STF

Thanks for all your lovely comments BC.

Hi STF, you probably do not need to be reminded the fact
a true blessing to have such opportunity in life. Such experience
forces one only to be very humble!!

For me I just hope that you will have many more such opportunities!!!,

so's we can share!!

Indeed HE it is a true blessing especially after travelling over 4000kms and arriving back on home safe and sound and the car not giving one ounce of trouble.

Thank you for your good wishes and Joan and I are so looking forward to sharing the next one with everybody.

I did not think that this photo was worth uploading onto this trip but in Addo we saw this fellow very fleetingly and our apologies for the bad quality.

I see now that it could be quite a rare species - Red-Throated Wryneck.
