Relaxing in the Great Karoo!
From October 4th to October 7th, I spent one of the most relaxing and refreshing weekends of my life in the Great Karoo on Waterlea Farm. About four hours from Port Elizabeth, the Karoo is named after its topographic features. It is very dry and dusty compared to the coast in South Africa (the Karoo is inland) and the vegetation is mostly short bushes. You don't see many tall trees. One of the neatest things ever is how many ...
"You'll shoot your eye out!"
... time we would need to be up. All of us in the "man cave" quickly got dressed and joined everyone for breakfast. After a delicious breakfast of cerel and tosties (egg, cheese, ham, and tomato on grilled bread) we were ready to take on the day.

On our way back , we see a lioness and we are like the ...
On Safari...
... animals struggling severally in the worst drought in forty years. Something like half the animals there have died or have been picked off by the lions. Tis a cruel world in the African bush! The game reserve doesn't feed or give medical attention to the animals, it is the wild. They are fenced in, yes, but its a massive area, over 1500 hectares and Addo next door is 180,000 hectares for the elephants to roam. They have to be protected from ...
