Hopefully next week! 
Off to see Flutts and Gump with leachy, HOPEFULLY!

No drivers available, so alone, which is not that nice...
In at Malelane things went south immediately, no Dimwits required.
I tried to phone Gump, who was at Malelane camp, as I had actually booked there first but only got the Croc booking the previous day...long story. But my phone was gone!
I thought I may have left it at gate reception, so flagged down a vehicle to request them to phone me so I could hear where the phone was !
The vehicle was a senior antipoaching officer on business, but he gladly helped me anyway!
The phone rang, but I couldn't find it, somewhere under the seat? Meanwhile another antipoaching vehicle arrived and the two got into a long conversation while I flailed around between them like a fat idiot, with the phone ringing merrily away. I said my goodbyes and thanks and left, as at least the phone was in the car...
Off to Malelane camp then, to get out and phind the pharking phone, and see if Gump was there. He and his brother Poohead were indeed there!
They enjoyed the extra tea that I had with me in the absence of a driver, and Gump phoned me and himself spotted the phone, which had actually been under my bum and not the seat...
Exquisite vehicle, the Silver Suppository!
The whole Gump clan was there camping. Very weird as they were like the old farmers, trekking from the Sabie mountains down to the Lowveld for the winter. They go into town every day, no jokes, little Miss Gump was actually writing exams and what not!
I also saw Mrs Gump, who is looking exceptional and a waste on Gump, IMO!
Gump's father also arrived, a very nice fellow, and we all had a nice sit down and chat. It is a bit disconcerting, though, as they all have the same traits and sit looking at you suspiciously like a group of Amish Crocodiles, so I left!
Big 5!
