Op ochtendsafari en door naar Ballito

Vanmorgen ging de wekker om half 6 voor een laatste ochtendsafari door Addo Elephant National Park. Hierna rijden we in een klein uurtje naar Porth Elizabeth en vanaf dat vliegveld vliegen we naar Durban, pikken we nieuwe huurauto op en rijden we door naar kustplaats Ballito voor 2 nachten.

 

Vanmorgen werden we vroeg wakker door de wekker die we om half 6 hadden gezet om de bush te zien ontwaken. Ochtenden en avonden zijn de beste tijden om game te spotten, omdat het dan donkerder en koeler is. Ingrid heeft goed geslapen, Ramon heeft de hele nacht mogen genieten van het overnachten in een wildpark. Hij werd uit zijn slaapgehouden door vogels, huilende jakhalzen en de snurkende buurman (2 onder 1 kap ole!). Ingrid had best aardig geslapen. Tot Ingrid's verbazing was de zon al op en was het al licht. Buiten ontbeten, daarbij toegezongen door de vogels, en om 6 uur het park in.

We wilden vandaag graag leeuwen zien. Volgens de poortwachter was het moeilijk te zeggen waar de leeuwen zitten, omdat ze veel rennen door het park. Daarom maar gewoon een route gekozen die we nog niet gereden hadden. Tijdens dezde ochtend safari spotten we met name klein wild: zwijntjes, jakhalzen, een stokstaartje, struisvogels en veel kudu's, vandaag ook van heel dichtbij. Na 1,5 uur reden we terug naar onze cottage om in te pakken en uit te checken. Hierna een bush breakfast inhet restaurant en weer het park in.

Na het eten checken we nog even het overzicht van gespot wild in het park van vandaag. Vlakbij de ingang zouden buffels zijn gespot, wij erop af! Op de plek die was aangegeven op de kaart zagen we inderdaad 2 buffels, dat is 2 down (buffel & olifant), 3 to go (leeuw, luipaard, neushoorn) van de Big Five. Nadat we de buffels hadden gespot besloten we de laatste route te rijden die we nog niet gereden hadden, in de hoop op de leeuw.

De leeuw zagen we niet, maar het was wel een erg mooie route door een droger landschap. Als ik een leeuw was, zou ik daar gaan zitten... Vlak voor het verlaten van het pand zagen we nog een kudde olifanten, een groep kudus en een handvol struisvogels in 1 deel staan, geweldig!

We hebben genoten van Addo, een goede generale voor Kruger. Nu zitten we op het vliegveld te wachten op onze vlucht naar Durban. Tuurlijk weer 3 uur te vroeg, want 'wat als dit tegen zit, wat als dat' dan zou je toch mooi niet als eerste in de vertrekhal zitten haha!

The gist of the advert is very clear, and does ninhotg to even remotely suggest racial insensitivity.Spending our future away by borrowing money from China, and sending our jobs there is the real problem.As usual, the detractors of this ad focus not on providing a valid argument against the message itself, but instead rely on PC because they cannot fight the truth. http://obmsyhli.com [url=http://txajaj.com]txajaj[/url] [link=http://zduqkqyo.com]zduqkqyo[/link]

i agree, that some of you are missing the point. I also think that this pjorect is about the sadness of nowadays consuming world and the position and power of worldwide brands (and of course the influence it has on peoples identity). That is probably also the reason why it says: an illusion on tour'. So i don't think the pendants are ment as an very serious piece of jewellery, but more as a statement of the designer on the present-day Western commercialism. And as for the comparences with bling bling; it ends by the use of logo's. Different concepts. http://borxssc.com [url=http://dtpizd.com]dtpizd[/url] [link=http://piobrlszhg.com]piobrlszhg[/link]

When I read that the first time in Aikiweb I had more difficulties to uartdsennd the language and I think I was naive too related aikidokas. Due to the translation of yours and other articles I improved my uartdsennding of the language, Thank you Niall! and unfortunately I also uartdsennd what you are talking about Y, I know somebody like him pretty good, his aikido his beautiful, but he is losing all his seniors because of his behaviour, he is behaving like a fool because he is living from the aikido. How can he work against his own business, because he is doing it without his heart, just from his stubborness.Thanks again for this great post!

Little miss hulkAnissa Saba z34155211. The first a | 24-05-2015 20:10

Little miss hulkAnissa Saba z34155211. The first attention wohtry aspect of the article is the title. Little Miss hulk, one is immediately drawn to the paradoxical yet interesting statement. The variety of anecdotes and personal insights of the interview subject related to sensitive issues regarding body image. It introduces the topic straight while giving a quick background of the jargon which will be the central focus of the article. 2. Apart from the Natalie's story being interesting, the group have written the article in an effective way to reveal the most interesting facts as early as possible.The adjectives used in the hook are intriguing to the audience. The use of rhyme along with the eloquent use of words creates a picture in the readers mind. The only slight improvement I would suggest would be to somehow make the second sentence in the hook flow more fluently form the first.3. The overall structure is engaging and systematic. It begins by outlining the most newswohtry aspects of the Natalie's life and her experiences. While juxtaposing her features and personality to her profession and physical achievements, they effectively engage jargon relating to cross fit and explain her physical and mental attachment this sport in particular. Her determined and strong willed nature is effectively communicated through her anecdotes and the teams descriptions. This article could have fallen into the cliche stream of bullied child, overcoming her troubles and following her dreams, but the team slightly mentioned her upbringing and personal struggles enough to set the scene and not to early which was very wise. I was impressed with the fact that they didn't centre their article on that issue.4. The article wouldn't be as interesting without a few anecdotes and I strongly believe the team has made great use of them. They are a mixture of personal, inspirational, and humorous relating well to the issue being discussed. They also reveal a lot about the subjects personality.5. A very eloquent style of writing has been demonstrated. It maintains interest, and constantly surprises the audience with a few fancy that' pieces of information. I also enjoyed the rhetoric question at the end, but if I where to improve on anything it would be based on some of the word choices used to begin and link sentences, at times they were a little messy.6. The article reads as both reporting and commentary, as it combines the function of informing, entertaining and inspiring all in one. It also gives the impression that there is a lot more to Natalie than meets the eye.7. It is a great photograph, however I would have liked to see something where she is exerting more of her energy possibly lifting the weights. Even focusing the photo on her muscly legs or arms which she constantly referred to in the article. Even with a bit of sweat dripping down her face just to make it a little more dramatic and bring the article to life.
