Day 2 in Africa
Phalaborwa here we come

A very sunny day it was, as the crew gathered after a fine breakfast. You see the Rangeress, Gin, Lulu, Mounteneer and Toothbreak before the speedy coach they rented..

The fine Crewmates

And on a fine journey the went! The first to see was "God's Window". A scenic place in the rainforest, 1800 meters high, with a fantastic view all the way down to Mozambique. The Rangeress and the Ranger loved it!

The guy, whom they called "Gin", for short, loved it too. A bit too much, the ranger found! Not so the Rangeress.

Rangeress and Gin...she really loves it...

The "Blyde River Canyon" was the next to see. From 800 meters the river cut deep down into the mountains below, until it rested into a beautiful lake

Needless to say, they had a fine dinner. They served Mushroomsoup with Ingwer, Rice, Shrimps and Mussels, had a Rack of Lamb and rounded it off with Icecream and southern fruits. Not very much different from the day before...
