And gently, we set off to Addo Main Camp. We plan to take a sunset drive ... if ... if it stops raining, we are entitled to some sunshine ... very small radii ... there therefore have hope

We arrive at our new home ... these "Safari tents" are exactly what I like, speaking of tents, a large and beautiful view of the dam, which will become a river over hours. And there is electricity, we can transfer our photos on our laptops and other hard drives.
The rain prevents us again from braaier, and we head back to the restaurant, which is at 2 ... or 3 steps. Before we went to hide, where no one comes, with the exception of a huge elephant that almost touch us

A sunset drive , we have not taken,
1) because of the rain,
2) the price ... the price of a drive in Addo is staggering, almost double the prices in the other parks

all the wet lover was outside -O

a first

about one meter

The rain doesn't stop and the wind rises up ... ... that's an understatement

He rushes through the interstices of the tent, and inflates the tent, deflates and then re-inflates, even opens then locked door in a crash, in the middle of the night I have to find the key in the night ... I don't like

I put my personal belongings in altitude, tents flooded I know (Uganda), but ... yes there is a but, the plugs are planted in the ground, ground in wood, which gradually gets very wet
I finished, anyway, to sleep and in the morning, everything is flooded, tent, such as kitchens and toilets

A glance at the pond, oops it is a major river, the water comes from everywhere, it is really impressive
