and I tried twice to post only to be thrown out both times


Anyway here we go again

Thursday 2nd April
We were moving to Satara today. I was sorry to leave Lower Sabie area but I do love Satara and surrounds

We set the alarm for 5am as usual. When the 'alarm' went off we got up - but I did think I was short on sleep
for some reason


was no one else there. All the while I had the place to myself - strange.

me - did I know what the time was - No. It was 4.10am.



it had only come through at 3.50am



Well we were up now - bedding folded up! We grabbed our torches and headed for the deck - eyes wide - where
was the mamba from last night

It would die down only to flare up again. Eventually 5am came and we could go and make some tea/coffee and wake
the rest of the gang up.
We had a quiet drive up to Tshokwane via the H12 and H1-2. We were early but decided to stop for a venison pie.
Really delicious

perceive to be easy victims. A young girl came to the counter around the big fig tree and plugged in a toaster with 2 slices
of bread already in the toaster. Before she even finished plugging it in a monkey came and grabbed the bread.
Next to us were 3 older couples. The one lady had a packet of jelly-tots securely placed under her arm on the table. She was watching the monkey
on the counter. The moment she looked away as quick as a flash he jumped down, grabbed the jelly-tots and off onto the roof.
They leave people with younger men in their group

A slightly off colour mourning dove. I love their call.

Kumana dam was as pretty as a picture with a variety of animals around.

We arrived at Satara, quickly booked in and found ourselves a nice campsite. This time we had no power as all of those
were fully booked. No problem with a good solar panel to keep the fridges going and an inverter to charge cell/camera batteries.
More later!
