A Quiet Morning

Again this morning we got up at 7am. We started the day with an Amarula coffee and rusks. We drove to the Jacana Hide. Along the way we saw the largest bird in the world – an ostrich. At the hide we saw many types of weavers, but not much else.

As we drove back towards camp we saw a journey of giraffe. There were four of them. We stayed and watched them for a little bit. Back at camp we had toasted jaffles for breakfast and then packed up. I wish we could have stayed here for longer. It has been a relaxing trip. Next time I would like to do more of the walking trails.

A few hours later we were back in Johannesburg. That evening we had a fun night out, starting with bowling and then a delicious meal at a Japanese restaurant. Later on we dropped Neil and Claudine at his brother Stuart's house and said goodbye to them.
