Africa Wild

Yes, well spelled, my boy!






Day 6 Part 5:




I had intended to avoid having a beer, just in the unlikely event that Scipio and his cohorts would force me to partake in Fertiliser Town, and I would be as fresh as a daisy! :idea:



However, the trip to the "Hongo" was starting to get me a little nervous, as it was becoming increasingly lonely!

So I pulled an old friend out of one of the two huge coolers on my back seat, just to calm the nerves!



Upon approaching the spot, a Rare sighting, striding majestically through the scrub, proudly eking out a living in what is obviously one of the last refuges of this magnificent creature!! :










Kori Bastards are on the Big 7 list or something...so lovely to see!



Then about 30 metres further on...:










RP: "Well, old chap! You are extremely fortunate indeed! OiO , This deserves a celebration! 0:0 "




Then, 30m further on, another one....and then another couple.....and so forth... :roll:


I could only be sure of a minimum six of them in that area, as they were wandering about all over the place, posing and flirting and not looking terribly endangered at all! Ei




RP to self: "This is a strange place! Whooooooh! :( "

Thank you sir! Is it spelled or spelt in this context? :?

I am so glad that this TR is drawing to a start. Your other TR's got nowhere fast,...this one will at least be somewhere and still getting there in the not to distant past.

"Spelled" is fine! Not sure about "to", though!?





These rare antelope around there TOO!:







About 15 Tsessebe in various directions!


Very long-distance pics, unfortunately!

I see more than just "too" rare antelope in that pic.

Please keep going with this TR RP, I am sure we all enjoyed the start that should be here soon!

some of those tsesebe may have been blue wildebeest, so recount RP

Don't worry, forst!

Just scan the other wind directions and you'll see more lurking about! Twisted Evil

Just what I needed to take away the Monday blues.... LMHOROFLWTAFFME...


Good stuff coming through from all of you. But the best one is Sprocks' correct spelling of the word circumcision. -O -O



RP, again, a very, very clever trip report. Although I battle with the reverse thingy....


A cuzzi is a jacuzzi ... or the cousin of someone in a foreign language? -O -O Or a cubbyhole?

Day 6 Part 4:


Strangely, I sometimes feel a little the worse for wear in the mornings, and occasionally struggle with photography, as the camera's oil is often gooey from the cold...


It was a cloudy and blustery morning as I left Pafuri....whoooo!











RP: "At last! Some peace and quiet! Wonder if my ghastly mother and brother have eventually packed!"




And then the Looooong trip down to Mopane began...



Rather depressing, 'till the sun came out! Yaay!!!!













Voice: "RP....I command you to turn off to Tihongonyeniiiiiii!"

RP: "Ok! "



Who am I to argue!

Is the head sore in the mornings -O -O

Day 6, Part 1-3 condensed version:


The Elephant Whisperer...





RP: "Howzit!"

Ellie: "Crappy."

RP: "Ok...how's the weather?..."

Ellie: "Crappy."

RP: "What's wrong?"

Ellie: "Crappy."








(Awkward silence)




RP: "Aha! I guess you are a dumb animal, therefore no big speak English!"


Ellie: "Crappy."


RP: "Very well, but you should know some of us humans also have a 'crappy' time now and then. My leg is sore, for example! And the weather has not been that kind for us either, lately! You elephants should be thankful for what you have here, and not moan so much... Many young elephant around the world have no food to eat, and....HOLY MOTHER OF KAZAN!"







Ellie: "Aaah, now I feel better! What were you saying?"

RP: "Errr, nothing...sorry to disturb during your ablutions, and..."

Ellie: "You're a very lonely and confused boy, aren't you?..."

RP: "Maybe, but that doesn't give you the right to be petulant! "

Ellie: "Hah hah! a Petulant elephant!"

RP: "I'm the funny one around here, you dumb scenery wrecking, overbreeding, water guzzling, animal bullying son of a bitch!"

Ellie: "I don't think that last term applies to our genus... :roll: "

RP: "%^^&$$#"

Ellie: "I don't see what my mother has to do with this either!?"














RP (Calming down): "Ok, You're quite a handsome specimen, just show me your right..."

Ellie: "No Ways! I've heard about you! You're that devious one...!"

RP: "No! You $%%^&*! Wipe that smile off your face! You may be an emerging..."

Ellie: "Oh no...I'm not emerging anywhere! That's just a result of the 'crappy' bit! "

RP: "Ok, let me put it this way...you are reasonably well-endowed..."

Ellie: "No s@&t!"

RP: "...in the tusk department, and I request an alternative viewpoint!?"

Ellie: "Good day to you, Sir!"
