Kruger - RP and Family up North....In Reverse!!!

[Richprins]

Hilarious!

Day 6 Part 9.1

Made a quick visit to Sprocky, who also had about 20 family members in his home.

Was not allowed in, but shared a beer with him and Scips over the garden gate...an age old SA tradition!

Nature called, however, and I leapt over the gate like a gazelle to go and mark my territory indoors!

Thanks, Sprocks...

[Sprocky]

Not even that extractor could save us from your territory marking. Ei

:oops: Sorry about the bad hospitality, not the norm at my house, but the girls were getting ready to take daddy out for dinner and they were in various stages of dressing and they are not confined to their rooms during this process. -----o 's!!

[Richprins]

And there was a bit of a Alcohol fume floating around. -O -O

[Lisbeth]

What has to fan to do with it :roll: :?

[Richprins]

No probs!



Day 6 Part 8.8



Approaching the City of Fertilizer, expecting little trouble at the car wash, as it was a weekday after all, and Scips and I would probably share a sundowner and I would get a merciful early night's rest, this beautiful sight!



A fitting farewell to Kruger!







The birds were singing, the road was empty, ancient tribes had stopped throwing their enemies off this mountain (Shikumbu), I was having a naughty cold one....absolute bliss! Aaaaah...



Then some gunshots!





Now just to explain to foreign viewers:

The R5 automatic rifle is a rather ironic example of the end of segregation in our Rainbow Nation, as it is used by the police, poachers, criminals, the army, game guards, protestors...basically everyone! :roll:



So most citizens recognise the sound...

(And no, I don't fall into any of the above categories....skipped National Service by extending my studies for a year! )


So I quickly ran through a mental checklist of possible culprits as I rounded the corner, and was met by this!:








So poachers and criminals seemed to be out of the window...



RP to self: "Well, my boy, it seems you have been speeding....you've always asked for Sanparks to take a tougher stance, pity it has to be you getting the chop!" :oops:



RP to self: "On second thoughts, it may be that Sanparks are finally tired of your Stirring....it's a lonely road, and you're gonna get 'whacked' right here! :( .

Well, you've done your best!"


(Reaches for memory stick in blaring Radio, only thing at hand...small but sharp!)

Seeing that this TR is in reverse, I am going to stick around. Today already I feel three days younger than three days ago. -O

Anyway, Day 6.7.1:




Upon approaching the Traffic officers with my hands in the air (Not an easy thing to do while driving and hiding an expensive memory stick in one hand and trying to mute Radio Fertiliser playing "Span die Seile" at full volume which happens when you take the memory stick out and hiding your beer in the coolbox using your feet) it became clear that I was not their target...


RP: (Eyes fixed hypnotically on the wildly swaying automatic rifle)





"What seems to be the problem, ossifers?"

Officer 1: (Pointing directly into the setting sun) "There! Don't you see it!?"

RP: (Totally blinded, and slashing aimlessly with memory stick, as this was obviously part of The Trap!) "You'll never take me alive!!!"



(sound of branches cracking!)




RP: "Yes, run, you green-clad assassins!"







Suffice it to say, an elephant had been harassing the officers, and was making its departure...


And after fervent and incoherent apologies, so did I! :oops:













Day 6.7




Crossing the Letaba River:












I swear this hippo lies there every year just to remind me of what I look like after a week of debauchery in the North...never missed him/her yet!
