Evening Bloggers,

Well we are back from Kruger and have had a great weekend. Yesterday we left our guesthouse at 0630 and arrived at the Numbi gate around 1230. The journey was pretty good but peppered with delays due to the road building activites on the N11.


After booking into our bungalows at Pretoriuskop, we decided to take a little trip out to see what wildlife might be in the neighbourhood. It started badly with very little showing itself. However, we ended up having an really good experience. We saw loads of rhinocerous, zebra, elephants, giraffe, impala, dung rolling beetles, tortoise and other interesting animals as well as lots of birds.





This morning we started out from our camp at 0430. This mornings expedition was not as successful as last nights but we saw wildebeast, impala (loads), giraffe, buffalo, warthogs and hyena. One female hyena was lying by the road with her two cubs, which was lovely to see. There were also some Hippos in a pool and lots of birds about. We didn’t see anymore Elephant or Rhino but we saw other animals instead.

We journeyed back through Swaziland, which was beautiful. Much greener and more mountainous than the parts of Mpumulanga that we have seen. Coming back to the guesthouse we took the road to Amsterdam to avoid the delays on the N11 and came through some wonderful countryside. Very green with rolling hills and lots of tree plantations for the local sawmills and paper mills.


Arriving back at 1630 we then made some work plans and had a pizza!! The sun has shone all the time and now we have been watching a lightning display in the clouds. Perhaps we will have a thunderstorm tonight.

Tomorrow we are back to the office to crack on with the outstanding issues. We have many and the web based communication problem is now getting serious.

Well I guess we had better go and find some beer!!

“ That’s All Folks”
