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 -O-

It's the road going to the gate my son....... aaaaahhhhh can't we stay longer daddy -O- No daddy must work tomorrow :O^

The bridge over the Letaba river

Not sure if they will ever make it higher -O-

Image

The water only flowing on the one side

Image

We saw this tree along the way wondering why all the birds chose this particular tree for nests

Image

We arrived at Phalaborwa gate. This time they didn't even ask me to open the boot 0*\

Great work security =O: =O:

No wonder they poach so many rhino's --00--

Thank you all for visiting planet Mopani with the aliens

X#X X#X

Nice, Alpheus! \O

You must tell the kids to start planning the next trip...the only cure for the "leaving blues"! ;-)

Dunno about that tree... -O- :-?
