I also have a mini-Merc but it is black. Supercar IMO. 15 years old and I have never had to have repairs done, apart from a new battery last year and new brake discs. I even have a dress just like Momprins' lol

Only one plate... :-? Surely another one will appear for some of the goodies \O

The two of us also saw buffalos somewhere around there.

:ty: Lis! Ja, we were squeezed in there with the surly bunch of workers, quite unpleasant! In fact a Cape German couple arrived and ALSO squeezed in, but much more pleasant company! lol


Onward, and even a steenbok! \O

And then in the stream bed just before Mestel Dam something caught my eye!

It was a squacco heron, a lifer for me! O/\ O\/

You don't visit Lake Panic often enough ;-)

After all it's the bush, not a garden, but being in a camp maybe it would be all right to clean up a bit of the mess O**
