Kruger awaits...

Sunday evening - movie on tv has just finished. Sitting in the lounge, tweaking the Vaio, and contemplating the week ahead.
Work tomorrow - not really looking forward to that. On the upside though, is that K and I are going to the Kruger National Park on Wednesday morning. We're joining Dave and Leigh Fisher, and some other mates of their's - all doing a walking safari for a couple of days.
As far as I am able to make out, its the Napi trail, which starts just outside Pretoriuskop. Dave did it last year, and said it was fantastic, so we decided to join them this year.
Bought some drinks and snacks today, batteries for the torch, and some mozzie lotion. Really looking forward to a couple of days in the bush. It would be great if we could take the bikes - cycling up in that part of the country would be a real treat, but I guess that there are safety considerations to bear in mind.
So, we leave on Wednesday morning - arrive by lunchtime. There is a walk on Wed afternoon - sunset walk I'm told - and then another walk early on Thursday morning. So it goes, morning and afternoon until Saturday, where we leave Napi, and will then be staying at another camp for Saturday night, before returning on Sunday.
I suppose it makes the week a little more bearable when you only have two days of work, and then five days off.
Also decided this evening, that because we can't take the bikes up with us, we'll have to scope out the surrounding areas on the way back, and then book a weekend trip up to do some cycling. There are some wickedly good trails in the Nelspruit / White River area.
