Baby "kangaroos" & lions making whoopie

We've just come from Addo Elephant Park, one of the big parks near the South Coast of S. Africa--one which they've slowly been reintroducing animals too & now successfully have hundreds of elephants, and lions, etc.

We had a great time there-finally escapin the rain & the booming drinking & partying of the coastal hostels I feel a bit more like we're in Africa--more outdoors & less tourists. And yes, the lions we saw were making whoopie. And the little kangaroos? They are something called Springhares (Springhaas in Afrikaans) and are rodents, unrelated to kangaroos or hares apparently.

And now, with the midday heat upon us we're in the town of Graaft-Reinet heading for a one day backpack trip into the hills before heading to Zebra National Park & into undeveloped Lesotho. We'll try & keep in touch but services are getting more & more sparse.

Making whoopee? You mean... ****ing?

Sorry, couldn't resist. It's a classic!

Good luck in Lesotho!
