South Africa Day 12: The Safari Adventure Begins
From Jo'berg, Kruger National Park was about a 7 hour drive away. Normally, I hate sleeping while on a road trip, because I never want to miss something. However, since I had been completely sleep deficient for almost 2 weeks, I was fast asleep the second we left Jo'berg.
Me in front of the hotel's gift shop.
After we finally arrived and got settled into our fantastic hotel, which was located in the middle of the African bush, several of us felt like venturing out into the "woods." There were signs everywhere that said it was dangerous to leave the hotel grounds, but that did not stop us (c'mon we had just swam with Great White sharks). We wanted to see some wild animals! Our bravery lasted about 10 minutes though, because as soon as we saw the 1st sets of eyes shining in the darkness (they belonged to some giant wildebeests), we ran in silence back to the safety of our rooms.

Crack me up - I can just envision the eyes in the bushes - I'd run too!
