Sabie and KNP

I finally found the cable to download the pics from our holiday. We stayed at Sabie River Sun for one night and Mopani for 3 nights.

Yay, we finally arrived at Sabie River Sun
That was a long drive - now where's lunch?

I think I see our lunch coming granny!

Yes, I brought the remote to inspect over lunch...mmm...looks like it's in working order.

Doesn't anyone else want to play in the dirt?

Ready to go exploring!

Gran I'll do the hippo and croc spotting, you just carry me!

Crocodile suntanning

Better warn everyone there's a crocodile around.

What do you think this wire is for? ...is it to keep the crocs in or the toddlers out?

Eating biltong and watching the hippos and crocs

Mesmerised by the view

What're you looking at mom?...it's just dad (who didn't make it into any of the shots)

Smile!

Early morning walk

Teehee, this is fun

You can only get away with this outfit if you're this cute!

Oooo, look over there!

There...there...do you see the bird?

Look where I'm pointing...it's definitely a bird

That was fun!

Look, more birds

Strolling back to the Hotel

Finally, I managed to jack Grandad's car

Check me out!

Don't worry Grandad, I've got everything under control...if only I could see over the steering wheel.

Eagles

These early mornings are getting a bit much...

Last Seoul Temple

The last two weeks were spend staying at Oakwood Premier Apartments, this is in the middle of Gangnam the area where Brad worked and one of the busiest and most modern areas of Seoul. Amongst all the modern skyrises is an old temple. We went to visit it one afternoon but forgot the camera so Brad and Brandon went back the next day to capture some shots.

I love this picture

Our last days in Seoul

The last two weeks in Seoul were spent at Oakwood Serviced Apartments, Brandon loved all the electronic equipment in the apartment because it was all at his eye level. Needless to say it drove us crazy when every two minutes he was changing the radio station on the hifi or switching the dishwasher on and off. He also loved the bidet as it was electronic and beeped when you pressed the buttons. Here are just a few photos from our last days around town.

There's a dog in the pram, it had a blanket and toys and it looked as if this was its usual mode of transport.
Walking through the forest, he's becoming such an idependent little man

The boys looking handsome

Making friends with the kids with their own phones.

Yip, I'm the best part of this attraction, the old Korean building pales in comparison to my extreme cuteness.

Catch me if you can

Playing in the dirt and watching the pigeons

OOOOO I see pigeons. And I'm just learning t say bird, it comes out as 'bu' but it's a good start

making mommy laugh

Making a big noise so dad can't watch TV

Relaxing in the little kitchen

Our last play in the garden of our apartment

Guess who got hold of the camera?

Packing day

Two days of packing and it was all boxed and ready to ship

Saturday at the Children's Grand Park

On Thursday I met some ladies from the playgroup at the Children's Grand Park. It's a great Park with two big playgrounds, a zoo, botanical gardens and an amusement park. When I left home I thought I had ample time to get there, but Seoul decided to run an earthquake drill that morning and at 10am all traffic was forced to a standstill. I sat for a good 15 minutes without even rolling forward. Once we were allowed to resume driving there was so much congestion and traffic, I thought I'd never get to the park. I finally got there with just enough time for Brandon to have short play and some lunch before I had to take him home for his nap. So Brad and I decided to try again early on Saturday morning. We had to go early because it gets crazy busy on weekends. Some people we know went a few weekends ago and it took them 2 hours to get out of the carpark and another hour to get home. We were hoping to avoid this kind of situation by beating the crowds. It was a good morning, Brandon loved looking at the animal in the small zoo. Unfortunately the zoo wasn't the best we'd ever seen, the leapords were horribly overweight and the lions had a very small enclosure. Even the little foxes in the children's zoo were a bit mangy. We then took Brandon to the playground for a run around. By the time we left, the queue of cars waiting to get into the car park was 3 blocks deep. It's insane, the car park was full so they will just sit and wait for a car to leave before they're allowed in. The people in those cars have no idea how long the wait will be, it could be hours.

Looking at the foxes in the Children's Zoo
I'm a fox

Trying to get closer to the mangy little fox

Yeah, I love climbing stairs

The sign says 'sheep'? Funny looking sheep in Korea!

I found it, here's the sheep

Check me out!

Fascinated with the ring-tailed coati's

Woah - a leopard

Hello, hello - look here Mr. Leopard

I think I can get a better view if I climb up here!

Awww cute (no, the matching outfits were not planned)

Hey, I have the same monkey backpack but mom forgot to bring it

Teehee, who said walking across this swinging bridge was hard?

You just have to avoid the swinging bits, like this...
