Re: A visit to planet Mopani
Booking in went ok......... Were allocated the number that I have requested
So went straight to our bungalow to unpack.
Bungalow no 13

After that it was time to braai


An ice cold lite tea with the braai

After the braai Mrs Alf asked if we could visit the restaurant for a sundowner ......................
Arrived at the restaurant just before sunset.
The inside of the bar area

Little aliens were plotting what chaos they can cause here

View from upper deck

Took a while before we got service, so blood pressure were rising quickly
After we received our drinks we wanted to sit at the lower deck but it got dark very quickly. We asked the bartender if we can go and sit there and he said yes. So I asked the bartender where can I switch on the lights. I just got the look and no answer.
I could see he wasn't in the mood to work. after all it was a Friday
I told him to leave it and that i will look for it myself......... Only then he wanted to help and just told him i can see you don't want to help me so just leave it and i will do it myself
Mrs Alf tried to keep me calm but i just get so frustrated when you get poor service
After one drink we left again

A car sick junior alien
An overcast and misty day
The normal expected ordering confusion, but at least the tea was correct
Selfies, wait until your junior aliens are teenagers
Those rhino were skinny, but rare that far up

Nice view from the deck.
The blank look and no service make me boil very quickly too

greetings mr alf...
thought i would pop in to see that you are safe after encountering
richie and the "boys"...
letaba river looking as green as ever (not the water, the surrounding area)
very fortunate rhino sighting indeed.
looks like no 13 is in the bindu...
why you smoking your braaivleis ?????
must agree about the inept employees at the tindlovhu..
i had to wait a verrrrry long time for my change
so i just enjoyed the view a great while longer..........
the future is not what it used to be

Rp and the boys behaved

I just love bungalow no 13. Will choose him every time we go there

It was the sauce from the wors that fell on the fire and made the smoke

That view.............. Almost as good as Letaba and Olifants

Next trip to the bush??

Nice smoked meat there, Alpheus!
You'll get no sympathy from leachy regarding lights...according to him all power should be shut off after dark, end of story...
