South Africa Adventure 10 - 13 July 2010 - Day 2

13 July 2010 - Johannesburg- Last day

Our last day on this continent and closing in on the end of this amazing trip :(

Woke up to have our last breakfast at the hotel.

Love my eggs!!
The sausages tasted a little different, so I went for more eggs and had a huge helping of yogurt with tons of fruits! :)

After packing up, we bid goodbye to the staff at the hotel.

And embarked on the way to the airport in our mini van.


Reached...

Queuing up with the rest of the world...

Time to go back...

Took a walk around the airport after check in and got some souvenirs as well.

Fancy some bullshit?

 

Us with the World Cup mascot!

Bye South Africa...

After the 13 hours ride, we arrived.

Safely back in Singapore with our Vuvuzela loots!

However, one of our Vuvuzela got lost in transit. Somebody probably took it! :(
Luckily, managed to get some compensation from the airlines, all's not lost. :P

Had a superb trip courtesy of Sony.
One continent down, next continent to go, Europe!! 

South Africa Adventure 10 - 13 July 2010 - Day 3

12 July 2010 

We had a most memorable night last evening catching the finals live and the next 2 days were free and easy for us.

Going with theh Africa, we know for sure we just had to visit the safari but we didn't know or dared to travel on our own. So got the contacts from the hotel for a local tour group and together with the other Sony winners in the hotel, we booked a day tour to visit an enclosed safari.

Unfortunately,  it wasn't what we expected of the vast open bared land where lion and hyenas roamed around freely. From what we understand, the actual safaris are very far from the place we were at and it would definitely be more expensive. 

Nevertheless, we looked forward to the day tour and patiently waited for the tour van to pick us up after our breakfast.

The van brought us to this place that felt more like a zoo except that the animals had a bigger area to roam about. Thankfully, we managed to get upclose with the animals though separated by a wired fence.

Our first friend. 

First time being this close to a orang utan. Was surprised how similar they are to humans, their huge palms just like that of a man.

Love the humour while warning the public!

Our main objobjective

Love this shot of the leopard.
