We spend some time at the restaurant to cool down

The river not flowing much

The tree to the left of the restaurant. I always admire this tree and wonder what stories he can tell

Me and Mrs. Alf taking a picture

We went back to our cottage. We stayed in cottage 105. Our view

I just love this area of camp. Always so quiet

Our braai. They have added paving around this area now.

Just before we started the fire we walked through the camp

Very nice, Alpheus! \O

Give the wife a soppy kiss for me! lol

She looks very like her brother, who looks quite big, so maybe I had better shut up? O-/

Nice to see a bit of lawn there...in the old days it was all lawn... :-(

Every time we visit Kruger we have to visit Letaba. Yeah the camp sites are lovely and those trees make great shade.
