Back from the Kingdom of Swaziland!

We are back in South Africa from Swaziland. Cell service has returned but we are still searching for wireless - new posts to come soon.

Why did the zebra cross the road?

Because #thisissouthafrica. We are off on a three day wilderness trail tomorrow!  No car, no electricity, just nature. Updates when we come back. And a full Kruger download if we ever get internet.

Ps - got some awesome rhino and lion shots so stay tuned!

Why did the giraffe cross the road?

To be closer to us than the elephant!

Look Right!

We survived the 17+ hour flight to Johannesburg (including a 1 hour layover in Dakar)!  After 3 days of driving through South Africa, we’ve already learned a thing or two (and seen lots of new sites). 

Nissan "SUV"

1. Main lesson – look right first, and stay on the left!  Driving on the wrong side of the road is not easy.

2. Our Nissan "SUV" (pick-up truck with a hood) does not like to go up hills or faster than 100 km/hr, making it easy to obey the speed limit.

3. In South Africa, you briefly turn on your hazard lights to thank someone.

4. You can buy tons of good South African wine at the grocery store for around $5/bottle.

5. Giorgio very much enjoys cooking every dinner on the grill (or as they say in South Africa, the braai)

6. Finally, South Africa is gorgeous!

Berlin Falls

Bourke's Luck Potholes, Blyde River Canyon

Three Rondevals, Blyde River Canyon

Next stop, Kruger National Park!

Stay tuned.

We are off to South Africa!  Stay tuned for updates after our 17 hour flight.
