Ralph and Angela,

Glad to hear you enjoyed Nata.  We stayed at that same lodge on our flying trip.  Fortunately, we didn't get the bugs.  The photos look great.  Glad to hear you are having a great time.

Hi !

Just to let you know that I once again enjoyed your blog. Just wonderful that you are keeping in touch. All well on this end - rains have arrived - at long last !!

Have fun (although you really seem to have become good at that ) - so keep on having fun - and don't terrorise those pensioners !! 

All the best

Heike

Hi All

Back in South Africa, just south of the Zimbabwe border, at a town called Messina.

Heading for Kruger National Park, the northern section this time.

Just going to open a bottle or two to celebrate Man Utd winnning back the Premiership title, previously stolen by Chelsea.

Hope those of you in the Northern Hemisphere are looking forward to summer, winter is approaching here, time to get the fan heater out again.

Ralph & Angela

Hi !

Your wildlife reports are certainly becoming more and more interesting. All I can say is WOW - and I am seriously green at not being there.

Enjoy - have fun !

All the best

Heike 

Hi Heike & the Evans Family

We've enjoyed the weather getting cooler, down to 24C in the evenings and cold overnight, can sleep better. If it gets any colder it will remind us of a hot UK summer!

Not looking forward to winter either, will have to get another fan heater to keep the tent warm, one is not enough!

Thanks for the messages

Ralph & Angela

Hi Lesley

Re our haircuts it would be good if we could get a haircut but hairdressers are not exactly on every street corner round here and I'm certainly not going to a shears and cut throat razor roadside barbers given the HIV/Aids rates!

Good luck with the new bloke.

Ralph

Hi !

The photos are just amazing - and I am so jealous !! Enjoy ! And - keep the blogs coming - they are certainly very informative - and a good giggle !! Weather on this end is great - sunny - +-25 degrees. Long may it last. Not looking forward to winter at all.

Chat again soon.

All the best

Heike & the Evans crew
