South African Drink - so so good

We found this drink on Safari and found it so refreshing, reminds me of ice cream. Pour over ice and enjoy.

Going to make great time LOL

We put so much faith in our electronics for information, but sometimes you just have to do a double take and say WHAT?

Our adventure come to an end

It's been 13 days and a amazing learning experience. I am so very thankful to have been able to make this trip and see the wonders of Africa and her people.

Headed back to the states today, so over the next few days I hope to get our pictures loaded.

Our last night in Cape Town

Had an awesome time in Cape Town. This is at the Test Kitchen Restaurant. What an incredible meal. We had our first game, springbok. Tastes like steak!

Our Safari Camp Emergency System

The red can is an air horn that you have to use in the event of an emergency. I only almost used this once when I heard lions roaring in the distance at 4 am our first night in the tent! The blue can is for the bugs which we never needed to use! I kept these both on my side of bed.
