Just-in Africa Day 5 - 15 June 2010

*As I still haven't finished these blogs, now is as good a time as any to finish these off.  So here we go back to June and the soccer world cup trip*

Justin and I spent the day driving through the Pilanesburg game reserve.  The weather had suddenly turned to freezing cold overnight.  But we did get some good game viewing in.

Zebra's.


















My favourite animal the Bush Pig.

Giraffe.

















And a break at the waterhole for lunch, which consisted of chocolate, soda and chips, but it was a great spot (with a great upclose, out of car view of the game), the monkey's were coming onto the deck and stealing sugar.


After our long day in the car (and not wanting to relive the 'bat out of hell' driving of the night before) we left the park in the late afternoon to buy food from 'Checkers' (what I brand as a low end grocery store, especially as this one was kind of dirty and low on grocery's).  We bought charcoal and meat, which we braai'd, using our fingers as braai tongs, and this was our dinner, which we ate off side plates with our hands - it is Africa!
