South African Shout Outs part 2

Saturday, February 2nd, 2008

I have more or less packaged up our photos to a more managable 80 some shots in the Abridged album. The slideshow is embeded below. These are from our stay in Cape Town, Sodwana Bay, Kruger Wildlife park, as well Stellenbosh and Francehoek wine regions in the Western Cape.

Here is a short video of a rhino male taking an interest in our Range Rover and trying to decide whether to charge or not. The video doesn’t give this anmial justice in terms of size and indimidation factor.

Finally, I wanted to give this wonderful Big Game park accommodation a shout out. It was very well run, wonderful old colonial style and beatifull. The dutch prince who had a hand in starting the World Wildlife Fund used to stay here often and the palce I am sure saw its share of the Rhino Wars. Check out the amazing history and maybe some pictures on the site of Reilly’s Rock.

Thanks to Mark and Marla for their endorsement of the place for without them we wouldnt have had the pleasure of the experience, see below:

South Africa Shout Outs

We are back from our amazing trip. Yes - it was fantastic. I would classify it as a top three trips we have ever taken.

Our travels took us to Cape Town, Durban, Sodwana Bay, Swaziland, Kruger, Franchhoek wine country and somewhere in between.

Of course we took way too many pictures. I have tried to condense it to this slide show - Enjoy!

If anyone is interested or has a lot of time on their hands, here are the source pictures that did not make the cut:
