Have known Gump for about 8 years, Alf...

He still can't make a decision about anything without hours of pondering...utterly frustrating.


One may wonder as to how a family man and business executive like him can leave to go to Kruger for two days solo at the drop of a hat! I was also pleasantly surprised! ^Q^



But that is not how it works...there is a catch.


Cellphone was the third member of the travelling group:



RP: "So, now we can relax! Tell me, how are thi..."

CP: "Triiing!"

G: "Hello."

CP: "There is a Tree Crusher Daihatsu 4000 stuck at Knobbly Knee Farm, with Sadiso the driver out of panados, also the plantation is burning at Vervet Corner, with outbreaks threatening to melt the Kruger Millions, also the Bark Mincer STD 450i is running out of KY, and the operator, Fortitude, requests maternity leave. And your wife says you must bring milk."

G: "Right, send Fortitude to Khyber Pass, to collect Magnanimous, and take the insurance claim to Danny at Brokeback Mountain. I'll call..."

Vodacom: "Service disconnected.."



And so it carried on the ENTIRE trip! I was just doing my best to get out of cellphone range! lol

Thanks everyone. The cellphone can be a curse indeed. But I went off without any employees knowing I was in Kruger \O
Normally switch off if I take official leave =O:

It was a lovely time just sitting and relaxing while scoffing prego rolls

There’s the entire Gump, Brown clan morning missing, but since we are already at Nhlanguleni, here are some pics of that gathering.

I have to admit I was nervous of the prego rolls, but they were surprisingly delicious and it’s now a permanent addition to the Brown clans menu. I even had to cook them the night we got home from KNP as RP left the spare uncooked meat with me.

The wildlife, ellie hose pics and others I have from the drive to the picnic site I will put in my TT 0:

It was actually an awesome lunch/afternoon just parking off and watching the waterhole action, which is completely against my personal hamster attitude, but I will definitely do it again.
