Monkey Business

I will leave it to the boys to describe the monkey business a bit later - they're trying to get the braai going.

We spent the day in the Kruger Park - I think we travelled 130 kms and it took us 11 hours!

Would like to upload the photos and yes we have a signal. Only problem is the camera batteries are all busy recharging! Sorry Barrie and Sue - please be patient for the distant photo of the Lesser Jacana. It was a much smaller bird with distinctive head markings. See what you think once the photo has been uploaded.

We were also lucky to see 3 Ground Hornbill, including one juvenile.




We didn't see any cats today but did see spotted hyaena, lots of elephant, buffalo and a couple of white rhino, giraffe, zebra and steenbok. Plenty of impala of course, several kudu, a common duiker and a klipspringer.

Oh and monkeys.....




Edward was viewing a crocodile out the opposite side of the car to his window
and a monkey sneakily crept into the car and edward felt it climb over his shoulder, meanwhile George was taking a picture of a crocodile and was oblivious to what had happened then turned round and jumped as he got a shock that there was a monkey sat next to him rummaging through the food that had been packed for the day ! Edward was disappointed as George and Janice decided that it was his packet of Cheddars and apple that the monkey had stolen - which was a fair judgement as edward let it come in !


Edward was also struggling to start the braai so he came to ask George for help however even though George is always the best person for the job he couldn't get it going either so now we have resorted to using the grill to cook the ribs . Yum :)
