back from my CNY break.
South Africa is such a great place....
Its undergoing alot of construction work now in preparations for World Cup 2010

Will talk more about it in the later posts..

This is one of my favourite picture ...

The rhinos were actually preparing to charge at us in one of our game drives...
We were on our way back to the game lodge... when these rhinos appeared and blocked our passageway..
As our driver tried to proceed forward carefully.. the baby rhino was startled..and so the rest of the rhinos turned our way.. preparing to charge..

Our driver quickly reversed the vehicle.. a few metres away..only to get a flat tyre.........

but luckily the rhinos did not proceed further..
It was dark by then.. and we have to get out of the vehicle so that our driver can change the tyre...

quite an experience, darkness, in the middle of the game reserve, and we can still hear the rhinos making noises a short distance away...(hoping no other animals appear out of nowhere)

from a faint distance, we can see the rescue vehicle approaching, but it did not proceed further.. cos of the rhinos again..

by the time the rescue vehicle made a detour to reach us.. we were quite done.. and ready to drive back to the game lodge..

hahaa......... quite a memorable experience......




and yes.. this was how the tyre was changed, in the middle of the nite in the game reserve
