Great ellie sequence \O

On to 2023 O**

Maintenance is not in the DNA of the ANC. That's one of the reasons for today's dramatic and disastrous situation in SA :evil:

Now for some very rare green summer pics! lol

Prinsadam came down to the Lowveld in February last year for work, during the floods!

He picked me up in his silly Suzuki Special Number One Car, and off we went to Hazyview, for a change it wasn't raining!

We arrived at our destination, Hippo Hollows!


q1.jpg
After unpacking, I went for A Walk, why not! \O

q2.jpg

the grounds are huge and magnificent, with self-catering units all over the place, plus the main "dormitories", where we stayed, to be seen in the first pic!

Some splendid views over the Sabie River!

Each unit has a bird emblem, sort of like Sirheni camp, or is it Bateleur? :-?

A pretty flower:

Soon I was at the main restaurant/complex, where I sat on the verandah and had absolutely nothing to do for a few hours. So I played a game of Brewers and ordered buckets of X#X on my brother's tab! ..0..

The river was PUMPING!

q7.jpg

It is actually a bit scary, and I kept monitoring the slowly-rising water level... O-/

The old walking bridge across the river had washed away, one can see the cables still stretched in an arc, catching debris! :shock:


q9.jpg

It was getting quite busy, as the busloads of tourists arrived, and I remember some Germans coming to sit virtually on top of me, Auslanders have no sense of private space! 0: lol


There were some hippo in a sheltered bay on the other side that they were keen to see!


Poor Prinsadam at work on a Sunday afternoon! lol

Auslanders have no sense of private space! 0: lol
Don't generalize :X: There are people with bad manners all over and I have met quite a few in SA O**

Indeed nice views onto the river, Richprins \O

That is the reason why we always travel on our own, Richprins - We need our private space as well O**
