The End

Difficult as it is, I must declare that today is the end of our bos-toe experience. We drive back to Hilton tomorrow morning.  The stay at Ngwenya has not been what one might call 'bos'. To the contrary, we have stayed in the most luxurious home on the banks of the Crocodile river. Thanks to my father who rented out this magnificent place.  Let me put it this way: seeing three buffalo crossing the Crocodile river silhouetted against a falling sun just over the infinity pool is not what I call 'bos' but manicured safari at its best. 

It has been a great time to catch up with the London family and hear all about the 'Lon-done' experience that Roger set up just before he left for Hong Kong. We have spent time in the Kruger each day and have seen some great sights like the fish-eagle with her catch of tigerfish up a tree. She was enjoying a morning meal was a hundred camera shutters snapping.  A remarkable sight that will stay in my mind for some time. 

What today brings I don't know. The 'foreign nationals' in our family are out on an organized safari whilst the plebs sit and work out their itinerary for the day.  (We landed up doing our own trip and saw a lionness with her cubs and were almost charged by two humongous Rhino - we live to tell the tale)

We travelled back through Swaziland and it took us about 10 hours with an hour or so stop and some traffic in Durban. We end off our trip having covered just under 6000km.
