Africa 6 - More cool stuff

Those Elephants were well close to the car, it was awesome.. also the galloping giraffe, which wasn't a big one per se, looked enormous up close.. didn't quite get myself organised to capture it properly.. Also did a cheeky boat trip where we saw a pod of Hippos, Crocs etc..

Africa 3 - On Safari!!

Up at this amazing place called Hluhluwe ('Shlooshlooway') where we had the delux room and all food included, which was all fantastic. We took the kids on the first game ride which was fun till they were fighting of drawing material while we're all trying to keep quiet to see the animals.. decided once was enough for them. On the way home it was freezing!!.. We huddled up and the kids were well shivering, hence the hot bath for Caitlin whand Charlotte when we got home..

Africa 2 - The Zulus and the Crocodiles

We cruised out of Durban to this place callled 1000 Hills, didn't think too much of it till we got up high and sure enough, there were bucket loads of hills everywhere.. The Croc in the photo was a monster and apparently will live to be well over 100.. The snake was apparently harmless, but we were all well scared make no mistake!..

They actually had a meal you could pay for of croc, where you ate the crocodile meat while sitting at a table in a pen full of crocs.. and they stand there and fend them off with a stick while you eat.. we didn't try this..

Africa 1 - Durban Marine 'Pork'


Hey Everyone..

Check out brave Caitlin who managed to get noticed by the girl looking for cute volunteers to kiss the Dolphins.. When they interviewed her on stage later, she told them that kissing the dolphin was the best fun.. All in all we had a great stop in Durban, stayed at a beach hotel, water too cold to swim in even though there were plenty of surfers from dawn till dusk.. did feel a bit dodge when driving though.. departed here and went to Hluhluwe (pronounced 'shlooshlooway' park)..
