Great to be back, at least virtually lol Hope you also managed to see the meerkats on Ubejane at some Point :-0 The squirrels down there are rather bold in any case lol But cute 0/0

Love the antelope scenery on Rooiplat. Nothing better than a landscape like that dotted with animals \O

Hope you found the lions later on! The Kids look quite anticipating and it would be a shame to disappoint them 0()

Because of the building going on, we booked the guesthouse again for next year. Let's just hope the electricity holds up, so we don't have to put up with the Generator again instead of the much longed for silence under a star-lit sky ^0^


God put me on earth to accomplish a certain amount of things. Right now I'm so far behind that I'll never die.

I just wish they could build some sort of roof over the patio area because every time we were there it rained and I struggled to braai :O^

Oh that noise from the construction could be horrible if one just wants to relax at camp during the day 0*\

That yellow thing is called a TLB. lol lol All heavy equipment in construction are normally yellow so it stands out for a safety point of view.
A small covered section would be a good idea Alf. Assuming it doesn't rain then of course it's nice to be in the sunshine, but unfortunately at this time of year the patio area was almost entirely in shade for our unit. 0:
Yellow safety makes sense :yes: \O

Nice fire place and lovely kids ^Q^ ^Q^ :-) \O
Thanks Lis. There are bar stools to eat at the counter inside \O

Ubejane is good for all sorts of smaller creatures... we'll meet some more later O**
I do hope that the guesthouse is a better experience for you next time! Are you going to be back in Addo as well?

It seems that there were some technical difficulties with the last instalment and it has since disappeared =O: =O:
