I guess it makes sense for you then.

Looking out of the window at work at the miserable grey English sky I would give anything to be in Kruger at the moment. Even P'kop.
But am really not a fan of the camp and those loops around it

It was my normal struggle with flat chicken and sarmies on the braai that night, also using the oven at our fancy six-bedder! 0: No pics...it was a bit raw... O-/


Next morning, the view we would enjoy for 3 days! :-0

You've got yourself a good-looking stepmother ;-)

PrinsWilliam has sure got a big beard :Shock: A sailer's beard lol A lot of men are very happy with the possibility of not having to shave every day. IMO rather a real beard, but well groomed, than a two/three-day one.

Nice bush shirt :yes:

Strange to see a heap of hippos out in the sun :-?
