Then there was Parys (Afrikaans for Paris). This little gem of a town is home to the old and largest Meteorite Impact site, wonderful little coffee/antique/art shops and of course: Abseiling :) (You can even spot a Baobab fruit in this one) 

Random snaps from along the road .... 

We booked into a private game ranch (Klein Bolayi of Dirk und Ingeborg Lempertz ;) ) Africa really has a mysterious beauty huh? 

Bella-bella (Warmbaths). This sign is distinctly South African :) 

Here are some of the animals we saw on the ranch during our private game drive. Now, I dont condone the fact that the owner keeps trophies - but this is Africa - you need to understand. 

Drove through Warmbaths, NaboomSpruit, Potgietersrus, Pietersburg (Polokwane), Louis Trichard and finally in Musina. Why Musina? I lived here 12 years ago. I found our old house despite how much the area had changed since I left there at the age of 11. 

So I left my previous employer; and took 1 month off before heading for the UK. Elme and myself decided to do a little South Africa exploration trip. (It's always embarrassing that the foreigners see more of one's own country that you do). We traveled all the way up to the North (Zimbabwe bored) and back, stopping at the quaintest little places along the way. Here I am, close to Musina - next to a Baobab tree. These beautiful trees grow all over the Limpopo province.
