I haven’t blogged in quite some time now, sorry! Our shipping is in Johannesburg now, but we’re still waiting for it to clear customs before we can get it up here.. I miss reading! We’re praying that we get it for Christmas, but that probably won’t happen now L
As to what we’ve been up to in the last couple of weeks, well we’ve done some Christmas shopping, gone to the movies a few times (Megan and I love the Twilight saga-read the books long before the movies!- and were very excited about New Moon.. we’ve seen it three times now! Kind of sad, I know… but in case anyone was wondering, I’m definitely Team Jacob, and always have been :D) and hung out with our neighbours. Since its Christmas break here, theres not a whole lot going on at the moment. It’ll hopefully pick up in the new year which will be good.
On the 7th of November though, (the day before Carissa left- I know, it was a long time ago! I just never got around to blogging about it), we got to go on a safari at Kruger National Park. We hired a driver and a sweet open-air truck- you have the option of driving around in your own vehicle, which is obviously cheaper, but has a much lower chance of seeing as many animals- and we had an amazing day.
Our guide, P.G., was incredible! He used to have a high-pressure job as a lawyer, but he loves animals and nature so he decided to study to become a game park guide. He has a photographic memory, so he passed the first time, and now he’s been doing this for 16 years and absolutely loves it.. and you can really tell, he’s so good at what he does! We literally saw every animal you could want to see in the park, minus a cheetah; lions, elephants, giraffes (all three of which were so close to our truck!!), impala and other types of deer, a leopard, hippos, a crocodile, wildebeast, many types of beautiful birds (including one that is nearly extinct; it was one of only 100 left in SA! PG said we were really lucky to see it)… it was such a sweet day!
