Went for a family New year's trip to Olifants, leaving on 1 January!

Momprins and Prinswilliam had driven down to my hovel the day before, and we had watched the Royal Variety show as we do every second year! :-0

We went in at Numbi, driving the Fancy Beemer, which has less space than one may think! so I was already angry from packing, as my family has no clue regarding that subject. O** It was also predicted to be about 70 degrees that day. :O^


Grreeen!!!

Shitlhave was nice and full! O\/

RP: "Well, all the dams in the Park will be full, trust me! ;-) "



Just back on the tar road, we stopped at a roadblock. Suddenly Momprins started going "Oooh! OOooh! OOoooOh! Ooooh! Ooooh!" uncontrollably! I'm glad no-one was nearby as I had had a little accident with the bottle of sunscreen too, and there was cream all over the car. O-/



Momprins' first ever leopard that was moving! \O \O \O

We had a long way to go,so next pic is from Tshokwane area! :-?

Onward, and it was getting very hot indeed! A slew of dams:

PW: "I thought all the dams were full?"

RP: "Err...they were full this morning. It is hot. And the last one is a pan, not a dam." ..0..




Near the Nwanetsi stream there was a baking lion! :-0
