vineyard tour

suncity resort... man-made paradise in a desert:)

seals!

lobster lunch by the beach:) love the sun and the sea

safari drive in a jeep:) was super cool:)

mabula lodge at the safari park

rangers

sovenir shop with lots of animal heads

sun city water park

back frm AFRICA :)

10 ++hrs flight each way is really long. plus the time difference. but SQ has s wider leg space i like:) but counting in the flight time & the time diff, the trip was really short, ended up with only abt 8 full days.

anyways, it's only the 2nd time i have gone on a tour gp, so it was rather exciting in a way. 30 plus pple in the gp in total.

my dad bought a new camera before we left.. his SLR, freaking big and bulky kind, yet he can carry everywhere...sighs. but the picture quality is of coz really good:) haha. i think we took the most photos on this trip.. wonder if it reaches a 700 at least for a 8 day trip...serious camera snapping everywhere! haha.

took me rather long to upload pictures so will upload more when have the time. these are some of the pictures frm my lousy camera...

summry of the trip for my own record soon, when i have the time.. haha. i just bought a korean series " love truely" n it is distracting me..lols. i need time to recollect the trip too, due to my short term memory...

but basically, it was quite an adventure, somewhere rather exotic...

rushing here and there as expected for most tours. imagine waking up at 43oam for the safari tour and at 6am for several days..typical day having breakfast at 7am, lunch at 12 plus n dinner at 6 plus pm... BUFFET BUFFET BUFFET>> lots of food!!! eat eat eat... a few chinese meals which were not tht interesting, but at least we had local meals too, thai, seafood and exotic meats like ostrich, crocodile, warthog, springbok, plus usuals like lamb, beef etc...lots of curries too...& unlike usually, i had 8 days of huge breakfast meals cos the spread was so good:) ya, buffet too, so u tend to eat more.. haha. i think i am starting to like having big breakfasts, it really starts the day right, instead of waking up late and having brunch/lunch..:)

the best thing abt the trip.. the hotels:) i love all the accomodation, unique and comfortable hotels and lodges... we stayed in a total of 4 hotels and there was a mixed of lodges in the game reserve parks, modern casino grand hotels, resort-style hotels and rustic antique deco type hotel...

yup, i shall stop here and sleep..tired... continue tmr:)

besides, i was reading the papers on teh plane and was REALLY surprised to read tht Hady won the Asian Idol... i never follow such stuff but i assumed he had little chance of wining. i guess the underdog always has some advantage, esp when pple dont view u as a threat...haha.wat a sad viewpoint towards his win but at least, he won...

n i cant believe yvonne lim won the best actress too!! two entertainment surprises i read in the same section.. lol.. ok, gossip time over.. haha...

caught "the warlords" today:) wat a predictable ending though.. haha. typical war fighting backstabing brotherhood movie.. but it was still cool, marks the first time i caught a chinese period production at the movies...hehe.

n just for another record, i cant believe i waited for nearly an hour for just 2 plain ROTI PRATAS!!! so SLOW!i guess they forgot my order too...at amk hub, the cafe in the middle...-.-

n i am so excited to finish my new korean show..haha. lack of sleep.. still, :)
