.
Sodra ek bietjie tyd kry sal ek fotos oplaai.
Vir die petrolheads kan ek net se dat vir die bietjie tyd wat julle opmaak met die drags het die diesels dubbel by gekry toe julle gaan brandstof soek het. Lol.
Ek kan die hele uitstappie net beskryf as WOWWWWW en die ouens is n stunning klomp bymekaar. Dankie vir die aangename ervaring ek is beslis weer by.
Sal net eers die limo bietjie hoogte moet gee en die dti weer aan die draai moet kry.
Take lots of pics when you open up that motor.... I'm very curious to see how it looks inside.

Thanks everybody.
I created a google account for the Forum.
I think it will be great if we could post all pics on the G + Pictures.
Then we can share it with everyone in the club with a Google account.
You can also create Trip Albums for all to view.

The first water we found other than small isolated pools was right where we needed to exit the Molotots. We drove across and followed a winding dirt road.

We found a grog shop where we stopped to put some air back in our tires and a filling station, but the filling station was dry. Some guys turned back to Die Eiland to find fuel, but most guys carried on to the Small Letaba.
Hitting the sand it was quite obvious that we were on hard tires, so we powered our way to the shade under the bridge and stopped to air down again.
Turning around, we headed up-river. The klein Letaba is considerably larger than the Molotots, whith a lot more water too, and unfortunately also more people.

We pitched camp pretty early, in what we thought was another pretty nice spot. I saw a spot where some fork-tailed drongos were catching termites, and wandered over in the hope of getting some good photos, but pretty soon these guys pitched up, saying "shoot me, shoot me", so I did.

So unfortunately this is the best I could do with the Drongos:

Rakker again seemed to enjoy bringing home the firewood.
