Pilansberg National park


One of our first trips, for fun, was to Pilansberg National Park. This park is 1 hour from Pretoria and has the big five. The only problem we had was my car is small and elephants are BIG. I am always wary about ellies. This one wasn't too happy about us taking pictures of him!!!!!

My New Car


At last the insurance paid out and I got myself a new (second hand) car. It was a bit of a drop from my 2 litre TDCi to a 1400i, but it has all the features and the most important: AIRBAGS.

After my accident I now insist on airbags, or least Linda does!! Not quite the same speed as my Ford but I did overtake a motorbike, the guy was pushing it. Now my dicing days are confined to dicing with donkey carts. Even when there are 2 donkeys I still manage. But my travelling days still haven't stopped. I have done over 7000kms in the last month. Don't know where I have been or gone but the kilometres add up.
