Correct, Mello!

My reflection is in the car door handle!

Ja, BC...it was my worst day in Kruger ever...but followed by one of my best!

Off we went for supplies to Orpen Camp!

Actually we had everything, but the girls like to shop when they can: that would be Dwarf and Frewells...









The sun was already Bliksemming down, there is really no better way to describe it!











The pool after the previous night...dressed up in Green and Gold!











Some of the Springbok Supporters who had not made it out alive, but rugby has its injuries, what can one do?
















There was very little to see if one was not near water, so next stop, Ngirivana!










RP: "Right! Be not afraid, this ellie will not come closer!

Frew: "Why are your hand shaking?"


RP: "My hand are....is not shaking! And Why is...are you talking like Dwarf? We are both English teachers, Demmit!"

Frew: Dwarf are in the Dong with BL, so I are just making conversation... "











Frew: "I told you your hand are shaking! "

RP: "Silence! Look, I chased him back!

GB: "But that are a different...."

RP: "Silence! "










Frew: "This one are also coming gloser... "


















RP: "Let's get going, we don't want to be late.... "

And we did get gotten going back to the tar road!




Brain: "Hey, fatty...you know this is Hell Day? Weather has predicted this to be record temps, and a countrywide heatwave alert has gone out?"

Liver: "Ja, and yesterday was quite hectic, maybe relax a bit?"

Kidneys: "Och noo! Water supply failing, Captain! Hydrolysis pumps at maximum capacity and teetering! We canna hold out much longer!"

Brain: "And you know you've been stressing that there is no aircon at Talamati for months now?"

Stomach: "You are not a spring chi..."

RP: "Fuggit! Clish!"










Eyes: " It's not even 11 o'clock yet!"

That's hot Maybe that's why the elephant is shaking and flapping

I just love when your organs are talking to each other

But that pool... so not inviting

a "shaking" photo

Oooh, it's been a while...Have I missed anything?


Nope.

Still on brick paviours weekly.

Your version of events will be on soon, laddie!

How can a big, strong boon like you be scared of ellies?

Poor elephant was afraid of you guys moaning about how hot it was

I feel sorry for those springbok supporters

Right! Back to this trip..Hell Day continued:


As said, sightings were few and far between, so we got to Satara junction quickly!

So a little trip down the S100, why not!


We were a little way along when a Jeep Jockey came SCREAMING past us...this could only mean one thing, an amazing spotting somewhere ahead!







Suddenly this blared over the cars speakers....Frewells has a dry sense of humour...wonder how long he had been waiting to do this!

We gave chase, but it was difficult! Quite exciting, though!









Then they stopped...at some zebra, I think?

So we turned around, rather deflated...maybe the driver had lost his mind in the heat, or was trying to keep the customers cool!




Animals!








Water! This stream constantly survives somehow...I remember it even had a pool or two in the 1992 drought!























No water...










A mom and kid we had passed... Kid was conked out in the shade...but ok!














6th sense: "Hello!"

RP: :Whaaaa?"

6s: "I am your subconscious power of intuition!"

RP: " "

6s: "I feel a disturbance in the Farce...the one you call Bushcraft has met with misfortune!"

RP: "So what? He meets with misfortune every week! "

6s: "Just saying!"

But ja...around that time BC's duodenum or something had burst near Tshokwane...check his 2015 TR...
