Kruger... AGAIN

I am certain that people are tired of me talking about Kruger National Park. I have already spent a great deal of time talking about it, and in fact I am a bit tired of it myself. But, Kruger was the third stop of the Davis Sisters Tour. We left Grahamstown bright and early in the pouring rain and made our way to the Northeast area of the country-the area where I live and spend a great deal of my time. The plan was to spend a little time in the village so that Allison could meet my host family, browse a bit in the surrounding area, then head into Kruger for 3 days so that Allison could get a safari fix. Of course, not everything went according to plan, but even with the shouting match, car trouble, fight with the host family and an angry hyena, we had a good time. The only thing I am really going to say about Kruger was a wonderful and delightful song Allison and I wrote to sum up our Kruger trip. Keep in mind, though, we were both deliriously tired after having been kept up most of the night before in the backpackers by the absolute worst snorer I have ever heard in my life. He sounded like a whistling and snorting pig. A LOUD whistling and snorting pig. It was all I could do to keep from smothering him. Whistling and snorting pig aside, Kruger was excellent and I certainly hope you all enjoy our musical rendition of this stage in our journey. For those of you more musically inclined, our song is sung to the tune of "The Twelve Days of Christmas."
