Last trip before I got my digital camera and this trip was VERY unplanned........
This tripped happened because I needed to clear my head and make sence of what happened to me on 14 March 2009
On the afternoon of 14 March I was doing my job as usual, fixing telephone lines and minding my bussiness when 2 men(cowards) with guns robbed me at a streetbox of my cell phones and laptop and took my bakkie's keys
I was so rattled and in shock that my awesome wife booked me a trip to Lower Sabie from 17 to 21 March(getting a open camping site in Lower Sabie at such short notice was also a miracle but she did and I left for Kruger at 05:00 on 17 March with the caravan in tow, here is some photos of that trip
Arrived at Croc bridge at 11:20 and I could feel the calmness coming over me.......I was in a wonderful place
RP and family between Croc bridge and Lower Sabie
