Belle Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 A few years ago, there was a very tame dassie living close to the cable car. He was so fat, he battled to walk. We used to see him every time we went up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MariJ Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Not me either, I don't feed wild animals! But, I did see Andrea dancing with the penguins. Belle, that's such interesting information about the dassie, that must have been very cool, thank you! @Belle I loved the cable car ride, I've always wanted to do that. ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florida granny Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Ooh... I'm so glad I got my courage up to ride the cable car. The view is fantastic! And @Belle I think I saw that dassie barely walking... but it looked like he was begging for food anyway. I'm glad we all obeyed the signs! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And make sure you have plenty of Boerewors, that’s what I miss most from South Africa. These ladies don’t know how yummy it is. ? Well since I didn't know what Boerewors were I looked up...that looks delicious. Our son raises 2 pigs every year...this year his sausage was the best ever...here is some he gave us. I'm going to give him the recipe I found online so maybe he will make some Boerewors because it sure sounded good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belle Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 You will love boerewors. You will never have a braai (BBQ) in SA without boerewors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florida granny Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 You ladies are making me hungry! It's a good thing we have such talented chefs on the ship... plus Henry, of course.

I have the machine to stuff the skins, now I have to buy the spices.... BBQ (Braai) smells so fabulous when you have boerewors on it.

April Showers Posted September 14, 2022 Author Share Posted September 14, 2022 Wednesday, September 14th Belle has some great connections and has arranged for us to go on a Safari in Kruger National Park! Kruger National Park has one of the largest collections of wildlife on the continent. The predators of the park include lion, leopard, cheetah, hyena, wild dog, and the crocodile. Some of the more popular large mammals found in the park include elephant, black and white rhinoceroses, eland, giraffe, greater kudu, cape buffalo, hippopotamus, roan antelope, sable antelope, and the waterbuck. Add an animal print somewhere on your page. It could be as small as a brad, a simple ribbon or whatever you choose.Note: This is still your "Black or White" layout. You won't be asked to post it until tomorrow, but I won't be having you add anything else to it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
April Showers Posted September 14, 2022 Author Share Posted September 14, 2022 Chic Instincts has some pastel zebra prints. I used a tortoise shell button embellishment for my page. Vintage Safari is on clearance and has a nice zebra button. Get the Party Started also has some non-traditional animal prints. Alligator and snakeskin textures work too. Anne-Marie's layout has some already. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florida granny Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Wow, what a great safari! Thanks @Belle for arranging it for us. We sure got to see some wonderful animals! Even though someone (not naming names) thought we should try to ride a zebra I'm glad we were all relatively well behaved. ... animal print added to my layout. I'll obediently (this time) wait to upload the revised version. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

April Showers Posted September 15, 2022 Author Share Posted September 15, 2022 Thursday, September 15th We’ve lost a few members of our group in the park! The rangers are out searching for them. We’ll head to our next destination as soon as they’re found. What animals did you see and which were your favorites?5-Post your “black OR white” layout in the World Tour Gallery 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
April Showers Posted September 15, 2022 Author Share Posted September 15, 2022 Here is my Black or White Page - Lake Merwin I actually did another page with zoo photos first, but I liked it better without the overlay. It has a zebra button though. Perhaps I can make it work for another challenge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jane in N.Z Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Thanks so much Belle for hosting this tour for us it was a bit exciting in the park riding that zebra ? and the BBQ was awesome. Here is my page for Cape Town......I used white as a main colour 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MariJ Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 My favorites were the monkeys - I like watching them play! Those penguins were a lot of fun, too! And Jane! I thought it was you with the zebra but I wouldn't tell. ? @Jane in N.Z Thanks Belle for hosting us in your beautiful country. I loved meeting your family whom I feel like I know from your pages. Sad to leave this lovely place, but I wonder where we'll end up next? @Belle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florida granny Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 It was amazing to see all those animals in the wild! Thanks, Belle, for inviting us, and thanks Captain April for bringing our ship here. Probably my favorite animals were the leopards; I liked seeing their spots. And I enjoyed seeing @Jane in N.Z on the zebra --- too bad my camera stuck and I didn't get a picture! My layout was revised by adding an animal print flower to my cluster. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladyscrapalot Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Here's mine. I used mainly white with a bit of black and green thrown in. I used an animal print style from Syndee but it's retired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
