Today is about moving. 5am start and drive all day. I love it cis it means we are finally heading somewhere instead of just sitting around. Tonight we camped at the Old Farmhouse. Another OK campground but again in the middle of nowhere so nothing to do except shower and go to bed. All the places we have camped have been pretty good but they are in the middle of nowhere so there is nothing to do at night, after I have done my chores of course. There is another tr...

The others couldnt use the facilities in the supermarket so they got back on the bus. As I was walking back, well in time, I saw trhem driving away.

I just have to do the logistics and if I can make it work ang get to the places I want I will. This is soooo different to backpacking. If I was bac...

Matobo national park is all about Rhino's. We have come here to see them and track them on foot. The guide, Ian, was very knowledgable and entertaining. About 500mtr into the park we found our first rhino. He was one of the big alpha males and really big. Ian stopped the truck and we were allowed out and got up very close and personal with him. That was a bit daunting bit very cool. we go to within about 5mtr of him. We went back and checked in and Ian found ther...
