Sounds like a lot of fun. Too much to read though. Cannot keep up with you. Looking forward to see the photos. And getting a trophee of some kind … Life not so exciting here. Scary that big snake and the spiders … better watch out! or did you frighten the spiders away with your face masks? Cheers, Achim
Um, don’t see any lemurs on the list, is the title of this whole trip just a clever name???
Yes, we’ve been informed lemurs only live in madagascar… But, we did our homework! They have them at Monkeyland (in the Tsitsi kamma). We should be so lucky.. Kevin is wondering if they will sing “Move it” for us.
