Hazyview? It's a downright blackout!

So our sojourn in the Kruger park is winding to its conclusion... just like the generator which supplies the electricity to Hazyview and today has plunged the region into electrical oblivion for the foreseeable future!  This is apparently a fairly regular occurrence so everyone's taking it in their stride. A quiet evening in with candles, red wine, chocolate and a pack of cards must be every honeymooner's dream (well, maybe not the cards....but in our defence the evenings are  long here and S**thead is a very addictive game!)

We have had a great three days of safaris and are completely "leoparded" out....Elusive? We think not! Have seen all the Big 5 now (lions, leopards, elephants, rhino and buffalo) we needn't have worried that early Spring is not meant to be the best time to safari. Perhaps Graeme is a natural game magnet or our guides really know their stuff, either way we will have many warm memories of South Africa to reflect upon to contrast with our long Alpine winter ahead.

Off to the hippo hide now to watch a bit more wallowing before evening sets in. Then back to our candlelit lodge for WC&S!
