Concert in the Botanical Garden of Nelspruit

Today, the last day of the 2008 Innibos Festival in Nelspruit, we enjoyed
a concert in the Botanical Gardens. It must have been at least a couple of
thousands in the audience, most of them with nice food and drink!
Me and Leona were there with out best friends, Annelie and Robert, and
some relatives of theirs.

This actually is in Mid-winter here!!!









Many different performing artists, but my favourites are the Soweto String Quartet





We had a lot of nice food and drink that wse enjoyed during the 2 hr concert...





Adele and the famous opera singer Kevin Leo

Some Prado Adventures

A week ago I was in the Kruger National Park for three days, enjoying the comfort of my new car.
Especially the 2nd day was quite fantastic, seeing all the Big 5 in one single day, and not just one of each: 2 leopards, 30+ lions, 3 rhinos, and lots and lots of elephants and buffalos.






Today me and Leona went to the Barberton Nature Reserve for some off-road exercise.
We actually covered all the tracks in about 4 hours. Great experience!




















To drive off-road in the bushveld gives me a strong feeling of the REAL Africa!

Long time no posts...

Back in South Africa after 6 weeks of work in Sweden. I actually came home 2½ week ago, but has been quite busy. Among other things, I bought a new car a week ago.

It's a lovely car, a Toyota Prado, with a 4L V6 petrol engine, delivering 179kW= 240 hp. 4x4 with a LOT of extras built in.












I read a lot of newspapers, and the clip below is one of the best letters to the editor I've seen in a long time.
