South Africa *GRRRRR*

[ingouk]

HI all,

its been a long time i have been here on the forum. Being busy for over a year at work. now my company sent me down to south africa for 4 days to johannesburg. as it was only for 4 days i thought i wont see much and so i just took my canon ixus 65 with me (2 days old). but customs in johannesburg decided i had to saty 2 weeks as they coulndt be bothered to release the 3 servers i shall install in johannesburg. so the guys in our johannesburg office show me around abit (been to the joburg zoo and to a lion park (incl. touching lion cubs)). And i WISHED i had bought my 20D with some lenses with me.
I am so angry.... But if everything goes right i am back in south africa for 3 weeks in october and then i'll take my dlsr with me, as one of our office worker will arrange for a safari for me in the krueger park by a park ranger.

here are some photos of the zoo and the lion park

the photos havent been adjusted in photoshop yet, as my work laptop isnt good enough for it.

its going to be a special safari. a brother from one of our office staff in joburg is park ranger there and he will be my guide on the safari. so no other tourists, etc.
