Heeh heeh...


(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! :shock: :shock: :shock:


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!
