Kaapsehoop

Yesterday we had a nice walk at Kaapsehoop together with Fish Eagle (Andy and Lindy) and found four Geocaches. In the Geocaching world, Fish Eagle is the "Emperor" of Africa, as he is the Cache Reviewer for Groundspeak for the whole continent of Africa!






The weather was excellent, and we finsihed the day with some nice pancakes at the Pan&Koek.

Back from the KNP

Back home after a 4 day trip in the KNP. The temperature dropped from lower 40's to +17 over-night. And today also some rain which is very welcome.
I saw two species of antilope that I haven't seen before: Nyala and Sable antilope!
Pictures of them are published on www.webshots.com.

The new pictures are at the end of that album.

Another hot day...

I'm still in the KNP. Did see a few lions and of course the usual menagerie... Only new animalon my list was a few nyala close to the road. Beautiful antilope! Found a lot of Geocaches today! Great fun!

In the KNP

After two days in extremely hot weather for this time of year(+43 yesterday and a dew degrees less today) I have found 10 Geocaches, and seen a lot of animals. Met some nice people along the route. I'm now in Skukuza Camp. Tomorrow I'll make a tour in the southern part of KNP. No pics processed so far, but they will come up in a few days.

A New Hobby

During the last 4 weeks I have learnt about Geocaching. There was obviously a feature on swedish television about that in Packat&Klart 2 years ago, but I didn't see that program. I got to know it when I bought my hand-held GPSr, a Garmin 60CSx. There are about 650.000 caches hidden around the world, and they are listed on www.geocaching.com . I started in Leksand and found 18 caches, some of them with great help from Plano.
Now in South Africa I have found 6 more caches during the first week! Tomorrow I'm going to the Kruger Park again, and geocaching will add another dimension of the time spent in the park. I will be there for 4 days, hoping to see a lot of nice animals, and possibly discovering a few caches.
