Today we went to Kruger Park. We started off our day with an early start at 4am and were on the road for 5am finally arriving at Kruger at 6 am. we spent the day spent the first half our break searching for animals and finding wildebeest, zebras , giraffes and impalas then at half 10 we had a half hour break and brought a milkshake. 


Then we continued looking at animals till a 2 o'clock lunch.

On our last stretch we saw tortoises and warthogs. At around 5 we left and went home to cook pizza for tea.

Sunday 23 February- Blyde River Canyon

Today we went to a variety of tourist points including; Blyde River Canyon, Bourke’s Luck Potholes and God’s window. We made sure to take lots of photos of the beautiful scenery around us when we were at the canyon as the clouds were quite low which gave a dramatic

background with the mountains.

The potholes we saw had waterfalls and rivers running through them and we were able to explore the rocks around the river a bit before heading over to God’s Window.

Unfortunately because the clouds were so low it would’ve been to difficult to see, so we had to move on to our delicious meal at Harrie’s Pancakes. The variety of sweet and savoury pancakes made sure that everybody had something they liked and wanted to eat. I had a cinnamon and sugar pancake which was delicious and very filling!

On our way round to the different places we got to see peoples market stalls with some amazing wooden creatures, bracelets and so much more. Some of us even had a go at a bit of haggling to get a better price.

We got back tonight and had some time to relax before enjoying our pizzas together!
