Africa Wild

Lovely tree to stand under

and lovely ellie shots as well

No 11 has a nice view

Jezz, it was very dry up that side

Mental secretary bird

I think plenty "teas" are going to disappear on this trip

for all the lovely comments!

As said, we were driving back into the sun!





Frew: "Ahoy, Captain! The ship is listing to starboard!"

RP: "Nonsense!"




Dw: "Look out or dat buffel!"

RP: What buffel?? "



BL: "Dat one!!! "

RP: There, the ship is level! Look, Mooiplaas windmill again! "

I think I burned the eyes of the camera!


Some nice artsy shots again!



And we made it back to camp:



leachy: "Why do you look so pale, boys? "

Frew: "It was terrifying!"

Dw: "De driver!"

BL: "Yoh!! "

That night was leachy and my food-turn, and rather surprisingly it was peri-peri flat chicken and braai sandwiches!

The one drawback of the unit there is that the braai is down in the rocks below the verandah somewhere, which is nice for children and mountain goats, but not so nice for middle-aged men who have had a spot of tea. Leachy was also ruled out of his normal braai duty due to shortage of legs, so I had quite a hectic time.

After numerous threats I got him to make the toebies, which he refused to do for some reason. The fact that Spar had not packed tomatoes did not improve his mood either, so it was cheese and onion toasted sandwiches only.

I shall leave out the worst of the swearing and insults:

leachy: "&^$$$###%&*....())^%$##$%%...@##$%%$#..etc. "



But everything was utterly delicious in the end!

This is the view that greets you every morning:






Only Borderline and I were up, the rest had a hangover, I think?


An old friend that I had never seen in the park before...a natal robin!




And the two of us left on what we called an Adventure...visiting roads and places utterly new to both of us!


First was the sleepover hide, the name of which I forget now, as it is loadshedding!



RP: "Thank you for letting me drive again, why is it now ok?"

Bl: "No reason... "

You almost managed to hit the "buffel"

Forget about the "into the sun" shuts, but the sunset shots are better than the last one

That's quite some bad swearing and you have left out the worst you say

You must be more than middleaged, that bird is called a red-capped robin-chat these days. (Why change the name, Natal Robin is so much easier )

Lovely morning view

That view is breathtaking, Richprins,

and great to spot a natal robin

My eyes still trying to recover after all those sun pictures

Lovely view though

Oh I remember the braai being between the rocks down below

You actually got some nice sunset pics!

I thought you guys went there to relax and destress...why so much aggro?
