Even though our travelling companions were enjoying having two sweet housekeepers to play with, it was time to move on.

Picture the scene, this morning 5.30am, Cape Town.

9.00am, Cape Town airport.

11.00am, Johannesburg.

12.30pm Hoedspruit baggage collection.  That's Jacob carrying our bags to the vehicle.

1pm transfer to our home for the next couple of days.

The locals seem quite friendly.

2.00pm lunch at the luxurious Kapama Southern Camp.

What a day!  It hasn't finished yet, either, for at 4pm we meet for tea before setting off on our first game drive.  With excellent internet, I might even blog again later!
