Thanks for the compliments everyone.
Richprins, I promise it was not me. I found it there and left it untouched.
ExFmen, I will write something up just for you. Hopefully PRWinnan will also contribute, he is far more knowledgeable that I am, especially WRT specialized post-processing techniques.
But first I want to do similar posts in the Camdeboo section...

We visited Karoo Nat park last week for two days - just a short break-away for my birthday
This park is one of my favourites , mainly because of the peace and tranquillity ---- not necessarily for photo-opportunities
It does have lions , but these remain hidden amongst the dry vegetation , and then of course , there is Sylvester - the walk-about lion , who recently made headlines for his great escape antics .
Poor ol' Sylvester is currently held in a boma on his own , pending final decision of what to do with him , so therefore , no chance to see him either
On the other hand , to make things up sort-off , accommodation fee includes a breakfast , in the Pepper Pot restaurant .
And , I just could not resist in ordering
" Sylvester " spook " fried breakfast ".
It consists of two eggs , steak ( cooked as you like it ) , kidneys , mushrooms , tomato .........
Much much better IMO than the Mugg and Bean empty plate you get in Kruger

That would be my breakfast, lunch and dinner!
What a plate full of food
How does that breakfast concept work? Do you get a choice of things to pick from? Getting a steak is quite generous for a normal B&B style breakfast.
(We opted for the take-away breakfast which I remember to be good as well, even though I wouldn't be able to say what exactly it consisted of.)

Its a normal sit-down restaurant/B&B style breakfast menu , choice of various breakfasts , like " Full English breakfast " - consisting of " Eggs n bacon/sausage , with baked beans " , etc , etc . Meusli , or other grain breakfast , with fruit juice , coffee , toast .
My SO had this , after a serving a muesli :
The menu also have a section with " Kiddies breakfasts " .
All great value and substantially well-filling , as befitting any good , Karoo Breakfast
