Lotsa angry elephants!!!!

So this weekend we went camping.
its was a very last minute thing that I hopped onto.

On Friday night we went to a place called "Merry Pebbles" in Sabie.
it was very beautiful, but it was raining so it almost sucked.
We started braaing only at like 11:30 or so.
While doing that I put in a cd sop we had some music. Paul started rocking out to it and slipped down the hill and bailed into the river, It was freaking hilarious, you had to be there.
We only ate at like 3am or so, was just awesome.

On saturday we went to the Kruger National Park.
it was just so beautiful because it was so green and lush.
we stayed the night there and decided to drive around in the morning.
we spotted a few buffalo, lotsa impala and a few others but the highlites were:
5 wild dogs, a rare sighting at the park.
1 Goliath Heron catching a fish, very amazing.
+-150 buffalo crossing a road in front of us, beautiful.
1 dead impala in a tree, a Leopard must have put it there.
A herd of Elephant crossing the road in front of us, we tried to get through them but it didn't work.
one of the oloder ones blew his trumpet and shook his head which was really cool.
A slightly smaller, half grown, 3 ton or so elephant decided to get feisty with us and actually charged the car I was in.
I almost freaked out!

thinking back on it all, it was one of the best weekends I have had in ages.

With lots of love and many blessings
