Sadly that horrible day arrived when we had to depart for home. Thankfully, as we were on our way to the Park’s gate this morning, Mountain Zebra National Park sent a delegation of buffalo to wish us well on our journey .

I hope you travelled safely home and I feel sure your experiences while away will sustain you in the weeks ahead back in the city. Sending very best wishes.

Thanks for the kind words, Carol. It really was vital for our overall wellness to get into the wild places of our country again after being “locked up” for so long. Hopefully we’ll be able to fit in another trip before the schools re-open.

Baie dankie, Tannie Frannie. As als reg uitwerk is daar dalk nog n wegkom-kansie voor die skole weer begin.

I know that sinking feeling of having to leave only too well. I trust you had a safe trip home, Dries and I wish you and your family strength to cope with the year as it unfolds. How marvellous to have built up a store of happy memories!

That was thoughtful of them. However, when I saw “the horrible day” and first glimpsed the shot, I thought the buffalo had gotten stuck somewhere or broken a leg or something, so you “merely” having to leave didn’t seem as bad. 🙂

Thankfully we could leave them in good health and hopeful we’ll return soon to spend more time with them!
