Pictures of Spring Vacation

I decided to just put the pictures in a separate post so that I could comment on them. So for the whole story you have to read the previous post but here I am going to put some pictures from the trip.








Our journey began boarding a Boeing 737-800 from the tarmac of Cape Town International Airport!







Soweto is a township outside of Johannesburg. It is especially known for its pride. This bumper sticker was on the back of a truck and we saw it as we were traveling through the town. I think that it is really representative of the town. People are proud and excited. World Cup is coming and they get to show off their city.




This picture was taken from the bus window on our trip through the countryside to Phalaborwa. Personally, I think the ray of sunshine through the shot is really cool...but maybe that is just me.



An elephant took a bath right outside our bungalow in Mopani Rest Camp in Kruger. We just sat and watched for what seemed like an eternity. Actually, I learned that elephants take short 2-3 min naps while they are standing so it is fun to watch. They move really slow and then will stop for a couple minutes which is when they sleep.



This picture was taken especially for Brenna (Lane's sister)She said that she wanted a giraffe but this was as good as we could get. I think that it is a great picture. This female was right on the side of the road when we were driving through Kruger, quite content and munching away at the foliage.



Haney stopped at this trail on our transfer to Mozambique, which I assumed was a walking trail but he actually informed us that this was an elephant trail. Despite their huge size, they walk with one foot in front of the other. Also they use the same trails. They are really smart animals. Amazing!






I was being a goof and the open game vehicle was really windy! Lane's hair was all over the place but I saved him embarassment by not publishing the picture here.




Our tent and view out on the river. Our tent was called Ngyenya which means crocodile in Shangan. We apparently had the best view of the crocodiles from our tent. There were at least four in the pool. We saw them a few times.



Peterson took a picture of us from the main area where we ate.



A picture of the green mamba, a really deadly snake that we saw in the camp!










I wish I had the time to show you all the pictures that we took. There are still some really amazing ones but I guess that will have to wait for the time being. I have to give you reason to want me to come home :P
