We woke up the next morning with the feeling not wanting to go home
We packed up and left Mopani at 8am driving slowly towards Phalaborwa gate with sad faces. The little aliens kept asking me, daddy what road is this
It's the road going to the gate my son....... aaaaahhhhh can't we stay longer daddy

No daddy must work tomorrow
The bridge over the Letaba river
Not sure if they will ever make it higher
The water only flowing on the one side
We saw this tree along the way wondering why all the birds chose this particular tree for nests
We arrived at Phalaborwa gate. This time they didn't even ask me to open the boot
Great work security
No wonder they poach so many rhino's
Thank you all for visiting planet Mopani with the aliens

Thank you for taking us along, Alf

It is always a pleasure travelling with the aliens............when they do not scare away the animals
We saw this tree along the way wondering why all the birds chose this particular tree for nests
Might be a disease and not nests

Nice, Alpheus!
You must tell the kids to start planning the next trip...the only cure for the "leaving blues"!
Dunno about that tree...

Say what? That was it?

Not possible! Way too short

You must drag things out, Alf!
But seriously: Thanks for sharing your journey with us! As always it was a very pleasant ride and I loved tagging along

Alf,
really enjoyed your trip to planet Mopani
The Letaba is in fact very low
