Today's highlights were definitely seeing so many elephants and giraffe that they became commonplace. We spent some time near one watering hole and watched the younger elephants battle (pretty tamely) for the finest bit of mud to wallow in.
We saw some crocodiles, just sitting there in the water daring us to come closer.
An offer we did not accept, nor did we when we got a close encounter with some spotted hyenas! They are much cuter when they are not gnawing on your jugular.
We will be spending New Years Eve in a cool (temperature and temperment) palacial mountain lodge in the hills above Tzaneen, overlooking valleys of banana, avacado, and lychee orchards. Sort of a tropical Okanagan Valley.
Happy 2011 Everyone.

Happy New Year Pat & Tig from dangerous Australia. I found a lovely beach and ignored the warnings - as did a few hundred other people - but I was one of the lucky ones who get tangled in a Blue Bottle's stinger. It only pricked, but today it is very itchy blisters. But I'm warm so I'm happy.
Take care. Have fun. Mom
Owch! You need some vinegar or something like that. Put butter on it, butter helps everything.
Good to hear you guys are still rolling. Don't let Dad check the Hockey scores. Canucks in 1st place in the League, Montreal on the playoff bubble...
