Ons voel presies dieselfde. Ek kan my nie indink dat dit enige ander plek soveel beter kan gaan dat ek die geleentheid sal opgee om gou-gou Vrydagmiddag die pad na een-of-ander Wildtuin te vat vir n wegbreek nie…

Dis regtig goeie, professionele blogs Tina, met n hele paar mense wat wonderlike artikels vir hulle skryf en n hengse klomp mense wat hulle volg. Beslis waardige wenners. Maar baie dankie dat jy vir ons belange uitkyk, ek waardeer dit regtig dat julle almal ons so heelhartig ondersteun!

Just took a quick look at at the winner and other runner-up in the Travel category. They look like professional travel blogs; that is, blogs specifically designed to get people to go on trips. Your blog inspires us to want to see SA, so I would put your ahead of theirs. 🙂
