Yesterday was absolutely amazing and really hard all wrapped into one. A busload of us woke around 4.30am and headed off to Numbi gate of Kruger National Park. What an absolutely awesome place. We spent the best part of 12 hours entranced in the sunshine as cheetahs and leopards, hippos and zebra enthralled us. We managed to see 6 out of the big 7 African animals as well as so...many others. To be surrounded with such beautiful creatures in such an environment was such a privilege...Hornbills kept swooping and landing by us while impala were just everywhere.. along with marmosets and eland, bushbuck and waterbuck, buffalo and butterflies.Then out of the blue comes this female lion just padding down the road towards us...just brilliant.Such fun in the bus too. I will miss these guys we are travelling our journey with so... much when we have to leave.
After a brilliant day full of superlatives and sunshine I got back to the news that my young son back at home has fallen and been taken to hospital. I can't believe he'll spend a 3rd summer with an arm in plaster! Bless him he had such hopes for the next few weeks. But you know God is good...the guys have been so supportive here... and despite it being really hard to be away at times like this, I am so privileged to share parenting with an amazing hubby who has just taken it all in his stride and enabled me to come here. Thanks Steve. x
