We're Going on a Lionhunt!!!

Four Drifters,18 teddies. a pebble and a piece of driftwood DRIFTING thro the amazing Kruger park. Four hundred miles long and 2 million hectares ,no fences so the animals roam freely - it is their country and there are strict rules for humans. We saw everything except lion and leopard, even a crocodile sunbathing - fantastic. But the most special moment was when a herd of female elephants crossed the road in front of us. Mothers with their young some only a few days old. And what was so special was the Matriarch of the herd positioned herself in the middle of the road with her back to us just like a lollipop lady and stood their till all her 30 plus girls had slowly sauntered by
It was so touching

THE RHYTHMS OF THE BUSH - the fast flowimg noises of Crocodile River, the cries of the fish eagle and the grunting of hippos.
We are now south Kruger and staying in an individual thatched house overlooking Crocodile River with an incredible view - saw a hippo and warthogs while having breakfast. This area is left totally natural a real Out of Africa feel but also can feel scruffy at the edges - loads of bugs lizards etc!!
Different again

My blogs are working out to be expensive so I have to limit them but will be back in contact if we can find wi fi

Nice to hear Robs operation went ok and that Brian is feeling a bit better this week
Love to you all from us four xx
