Lekhubu

Post by Peter Connan »

Hello All
I know this is a trick question as one season is so diferent from another, but does anybody know whether it is generally possible to drive to Khubu Island (Botswana) in Easter holiday (end of March)?

Thanks
Peter

Hello Oom Mac

Unless one likes Baobab trees, sunsets (and sunrises) and orange moons, you may well be right. But there is lots of flat ground and I want to hold a moeviese party there Easter next year. In short, I want to get married there :woo: QQQ QQQ :rolling: :thumbup:

Ooooo - jy praat van KUBU ... nou hukkom jy nie so gese nie??
So [het dit] ge-lyk Jun 2008
Soos jy kan sien - dis uiters bedrieglik. Die een oomblik ry mens op klipharde pansout - en 1 km verder het ek en Brutus so byna byna byna gesink. En was dit glad - ek het skoon 180 gedoen. Frikkie het so groot geskrik, hy het nie eens een kiekie van daai rondomtalie gedoen nie. En soos jy aan die stofwolke kan sien, op die rand is dit kurk-horing-droog.

(Dom vraag vannie oompie - Gan jy gaste hê by jou troue? hoe kry jy hulle daar?)

Hehehehe, hulle kan dalk agter die ou murasies op die koppie wegkruip, sodat die skerpioene hulle kan steek :rolling:

Oom Mac I was there in July 2009, the experience of driving over those seemingly endless pans, that sound almost hollow as the cars drive over them is something I will never forget. we were lucky though and never got stuck, although in places you could feel it getting soft and slippery.

Langman while I am exceptionally fond of my 'trol, it does lack some elements: It doesn't cuddle and I have not been able to get it to cook me a decent meal either (although the engine bay makes a marvelous defrosting oven) :thumbup: .
