Goodbye beehive huts, hello beachside apartment! Back to semi-civilization with the arrival in St Lucia in a few hours but first breakfast and a couple of hours to the Swazi border. I got a goodbye grunt from the Warthogs this morning- very emotional stuff...After a quick stop at a local market to buy some souvenirs, it was goodbye to sunny and smiley Swaziland. Got to St. Lucia at lunchtime after another long drive through the Swazi countryside. Probably not th...

On the road again at 6am..luckily I didn't realize I had pitched my tent on top of a termite hill until I was packing up. No more camping for me for a long time I reckon! We began our two hour drive through Kruger Park at 7am and immediately came across a pack of wild dogs ( aka cape hunting dogs) resting on the side of the road. DC ( formerly known as Danny Coffee..)nearly went through the roof with the excitement- just looked like a bunch of dirty alsatians t...

As I staggered out of my tent breathing like a bulldog in a sauna...

Off to Kruger park we go! Dana seemed to have drank too many coffees this morning as he blasted out Eye of the Tiger while he was driving like a man who had ten beers, luckily he doesn't drink alcohol or I probably would not be writing this update. Landed at Kruger at 1pm, the place is full of spiders it seems. Going to be a restless night in our tents tonight I'm betting! Luckily the temperature has dropped to 25oC today, still unsure why they don't have a mozz...

Up bright and early this morning- 530am for a guided sunrise bush walk. As I pulled back the curtains, I realized the head ranger may just have a drinking problem, a whole row of empty rum bottles on his window cil ....no mozzie bites last night which is no surprise really as I'm still suffocating from the 'odorless' spray...time for breakfast before the wander through nature... Waiting outside the bedroom door this morning was that fecken cheetah again...must h...
