Yesterday was glorious. We got up super early and drove to Sun City for an amazing breakfast with my cousin Heather and her new husband Alan. It was SO fun and they are really nice, it was great to see Heather again after so long and to meet Alan too. We had a great time there, then headed into Sun City to check it out, it's basically like a theme park/resort/hotel/casino place, and was pretty nice. Took lots of photos then headed to Pillansberg National Park!
At Pillansberg we drove around for some time and found lots of amazing animals along the way: Elephants, Zebra, Impala, Wildebeasts, Rhinos, Hippos, Giraffes, and more. Totally amazing.
Alan is very knowledgeable about all this outdoorsy stuff and he explained a bunch of interesting things to us about the animal habitats, the plant and bird life, etc. Very cool stuff. Anyway the pictures really say it all, so here we go.
