(You obviously have no idea what a "cuzi" is!) :P


Day 6 Part 6.1:





On the way down, I decided on the spur of the moment to visit Tihongonyeni, a famous waterhole North of Mopane to which I had never been!


You turn East on the Tropic of Capricorn loop, and it becomes progressively more desolate and LONELY the further you go!

Oh, to be at a LIT sighting outside Skukuza gate in a queue of schoolbuses and taxis right now, I thought to myself! :(

I started suspecting I was far away from civilization when I came accross the skeletons of some members of the French Foreign Legion, poor B$%&ards! :?



Upon reaching the Windmill after a few days, I realised the place seemed to be a piece of Kalahari Desert airlifted to Kruger in what appears to be some bizarre experiment!


It's bad enough driving through the Park alone, but REALLY being in the middle of nowhere is scary...especially when you've been with your family constantly for 5 days!



Looking West:






Looking North:








Looking South:







Looking East:

-O -O -O East?? You looked so far east you circumnavigated the earth and ended up in the Namib.

[Flutterby]

East of Tihongonyeni you say....must find those dunes!! :roll:

REALLY being in the middle of nowhere is scary...especially when you've been with your family constantly for 5 days!

Reverse....remember...you still have to spend 5 days with your family!!

[Richprins]

Good point!


(I still can't get over the fact that Sprocky managed to spell "circumnavigated"....!!!!! Shocked Shocked )

[Theuns]

[Flutterby]

I still can't get over the fact that Sprocky managed to spell "circumnavigated"....!!!!! )
