World Cup - Day 8 - June 16th
Okay, the cold front moved in last night and it is ridiculously cold today! The temperature is in the teens and on the way to Kruger National Park, we have a flat tire. So, we have to stand outside and wait for the tire change in freezing weather. Just to let you know....there are no heaters on this transport, just flaps coming down to block out the wind.
We get a late start on the safari, but we are meant to be there from opening till around 5pm, so it will be a long day. About 30 minutes in the park, we get to see lions eating prey, zebras, giraffes, crocodiles....but it is cold! We are wearing multiple layers and the only saving grace is that we are each given blankets that we can wrap around ourselves...without it, I don't know how I would have survived. Juliana sits in front of me and gets the brunt of the wind along with Joseph and Brandi.
We stop for lunch in the park and then continue seeing animals till around 5pm. We are then brought back to the lodge and given an hour or so to get ready for dinner. Again, dinner is around the fire and then we sit down to watch the South African game....which was lost by them...sorry bafana/bafana.
Then off to bed for an early morning nature walk.
