Miera certainly wasn't showing when we were there. 0=
Well, there is always a next time. -O

We too were stunned by the amount of kudus we saw this time around.
Usually you would be lucky to see them on one or two occasions over
the course of a two week stay. This time we had some almost every day.
I like them a lot as well - really pretty antelopes. \O


God put me on earth to accomplish a certain amount of things. Right now I'm so far behind that I'll never die.

there in January... I thought it was a short term thing like with all the other waterholes.
Plus, as far as I remember, K. hadn't been on the list with waterholes not working. 0'

What happened to that bakkie? Did it get involved in a road crash with the police? =O:
I didn't saw the front of the police's car =O:

I have pictures of half windmill, in January ;-)
