June 10 - Although not on our original plan (due to lack of time), we discussed with Brighton the possibility of doing Kruger National Park in 1 day - a trip that is usually takes 3-4 days. Having agreed with the driver, and on the misguided pretence that we could do a 3-4 day tour in 1 day, we left our guest house on June 10 at 5:00am.
After getting lost and asking for directions at a number of locations, we finally arrived at Kruger at 12:00 noon. Took the safari in our own car until the park closed at 5:30pm. Saw Elephants; Giraffes; Lions (in the distant); Hippos; lots of deer etc. We had covered only 1/8 of the park.
Started back at 5:30 and again had to ask for directions. An unusual thing happened along the way - we stopped for gas and some food. There were a number of people and 1 person came up to me and said "I don't know you but I know God has blessed you - I could tell as soon as you entered the door" - strange!! Towards the end we got lost again, and driving through some deserted industrial area, finally got back at 12:00 midnight. A 19 hr trip, all inside an old car, which I had to drive for a while within the park so that Brighton could sleep. Tonight, I will be dreaming of that car !!
The touring is all done. Tomorrow is the start of the World Cup and that will be our focus from here on.
