weekend 3- hhluwhe park safari and other stuff!!
well went to the safari park and the boat trip starting on friday and really had a fab time! loved every minute of it. we also went to a cheetah park where i stood a few feet away form the cheetah scary ay!!!
The safari was an early and freezing start on saturday morning, rising at 5am!! (4am uk time) like oh my goodness it was cold!! and way too early for me!!
we started on friday morning and left here at the bluff at 6 am and made our way to northern Kwa zulu Natal! it was a lovely morning! but we went to the boat ride first! we saw lots and lots of crocodiles and hippos in the river which was really good! managed to get very close to the hippos but they are very dangerous and so we stayed far enough away or they attck the boat apparently!!!then we went to the cheetah farm rehabilitation centre and it was very nice!! tehre were many cats and they were all very pretty!!
we then went back to the house for dinner and had an early nights rest ready for the early rise the following morning!!
Woke up at 5am on saturday and had a lovely freezing and windy drive to the game park!! it was dark and very cold when we left at 6am~! when we got to the park it was amazing everything i expoected and more. saw loads of animals and saw 4 out of 5 of the big 5!!! never saw any lions but saw the elephant, giraffes that were very close!, loads of zebras, buffalos and of course the rhinos!! there were loads of animals and i stood very close to a zebra when i had a cheeky moment and i wanted to get closer so that is what i did. But it was a very good day and the animals were all beautiful!! something i have always wanted to do an dit was definately worth it!! for sure!! we then finished at the aprk and made our way back to the bluff!!! once again had an early night sleep!!! yay!
Sunday was a good day as we decided to take all the children to the beach as we thought they deserved to all go out! we had a fab time, the weather was lovely and the beaches are gorgeous here!!
took plenty of pictures of the children and other stuff too!! they enjoyed them selves though which is the ain thing. When we got back to the house me and maryt decided to go out for a meal! which was fun but very interesting as some Austrailian man was being a rite fool and he was really drunk but he heard that we were from Holland and the uk and that was it did not want to leave us alone!! so we had his company for the night! very funny man but was 40 odd and had long hair and said he was a surfer dude!! he was very strange tho but made our night!! haha!! ozzy u rock man!!! haha
had a very good weekend though.
Wishing mum the very best of getting better. Miss you all very much and i love you mum. hope you get better soon!!! love you all loads and loads xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
