Kruger Park November 18th

We always enjoy our visits to Kruger Park. We often seem to spend a long time in the car straining our eyes to see wild life. When we spot something it is all excitement. Sometimes we feel as if we haven't seen much until we start to count up what we have seen or look back at our photos from the day.

Here are some highlights from last Sunday, November 18th.

Mmmmm I think I would like a ride!

Wait for me!

Up!

Up!

And away!!!!!

I am the King of the jungle!

We were lucky to spot this Chameleon

Anyone for a swim!

This old fellow was actually at Chimp Eden not at Kruger.

Shops - A Divided Land

Shops

It is interesting looking at the different shops, those you find in Nelspruit itself and those out in the townships. They definitely tell you South Africa is still a divided land, those that have and those that don't. The first photo is of Riversde Mall in Nelspruit getting decked out in its Christmas finery. The others are random shops in the townships. Most are taken through van windows so they are a bit blurred.

Riverside mall

There are a lot of funeral directors

The local garage

A busy street corner

A lot of the shops are family run and the shop is close to the house

Not sure what this one sells

Charkarza and Elwesha

November   8th

Last week was my last with going out with Penryn College to Charkarza and Elwesha school.  It seems early to have finished but the Penryn students have exams and so are not able to continue the outreach. We had a great day a both schools. We gave all the children, 200+, an exercise book with all the poems we had used this year, glued in. These books are for the children to keep but they will remain at the schools for a while so they can be used in class. The children were also given a tee shirt that had been hand painted by Penryn students. It was a fun time.

The lovely Angela who organises the outreach  is leaving Penryn at the end of this year. I have my  fingers crossed someone else will step up and it will continue next year.
