Rayb Kruger Travel Tale, Not...or Maybe

Post by Richprins »

Email conversation:



rayb: "Hello, Richprins. Care to meet at Berg&Dal? We are coming out, you know!"

RP: "Certainly, Ray! It would be nice to finally meet after 10 years. What shall we eat?"

rayb: "I would like to try outdoor cooking!"

RP: "WTF is outdoor cooking?"

rayb: "A braai. I've never done that, how do you do it?"

RP gives long instructions.

rayb: "Oh, so you take the wood and put it onto the ground and then what again?"


RP: "Never mind. I'll come and show you."








Ray is notoriously lazy, so it is unlikely he will put his stuff up. But anyway, Bees and I went off to meet him at Berg & Dal in November last year!


It had been a long week for me, a back injury keeping me down to an hour or two of sleep per night, so I was looking forward to getting away! :-0

We left after work, heading for Numbi.


Two roads:

Interesting selection of speed bumps:

We retraced the steps I always take, having had great luck on the route before. Manung:

And a nice kudu near Faai stream:

It was great to be back!

The Voortrekker Road can be very boring at times...and so it was for the first 300km. But Bees and I were relaxing big time, which is what it's all about! X#X X#X X#X

RP: "So are you ready to meet Ray?"

Bees: "..."

(Bees cannot speak recognisable English. :no: )


And then things began to improve!

And a bit further one of MANY rhino sightings on this very short trip! 0-

This was a very big boy, I must say1 :shock:


q2.jpg



Then a roadblock, with cars cut out! lol


q3.jpg



They were utilising the drainpipe there, have been for years! :-0


q4.jpg

q5.jpg


The vehicles were many, so we didn't stay long! 50m further on, though, we found out that it was a duplex drainpipe accommodation system! :shock:



q6.jpg


All to ourselves, as the cars behind obviously didn't think we were watching anything! lol

And then a remarkable series of bumshots began, although I really like this pic! \O

We were beginning to relax, as I said! :yes:
