Hello!
We had a great day today, we got up at about 8am and went straight to breakfast! We had eggs, bacon, sausage and toast! It was a very good start to our morning… we then packed up our bags and checked out of the La Kruger Lodge! While we were leaving they gave us a map of Kruger National Park and suggested on our way back to Crystal Springs, we drive through the park rather than on the regular roads, and we thought that was a great idea! We first stopped at the little gift shop to grab a few snacks and a some gifts to take home! We then just drove through the park! On our way, we saw many animals, a lot of babies! It was a nice peaceful drive! It only took us about 4 hours to drive from the Crocodile Bridge Gate to the Phabeni Gate, but on our way we saw so many different things! We stayed on the paved road the whole way, so we were not really expecting to see anything to amazing, but we did! We were about an hour and a half into our drive and Zayne saw a tail moving in the bush in front and to the left of our car, so he stopped. We were the only vehicle around at this point, so we stopped and just waited to see what it was. It wasn't even 30 seconds after we stopped our car that it walked out into the road where we could see it! It was a leopard! We were both so excited, it walked up the left side of the road and then crossed into the middle of the road and was actually walking straight toward us! It then made it’s way to the right side of the road and got so close to our car, Zayne could have rolled the window down and touched it! It was such an amazing site to see, Zayne freaking out in the seat next to me and this beautiful creature walking toward me! Wonderful! It then made it’s way in the bush and off we went to finish our drive! When we left the park, we made our way toward Pilgrim’s Rest, which is where we are staying tonight at Crystal Springs Mountain Resort! On our way, we stopped at The Mac Mac Pools and The Mac Mac Falls!

| Little delay in our trip back to Crystal Springs |
It was around 5:30pm when we made it to our lodge, we unpacked our stuff and relaxed on our balcony till the sun went down! We were going to go swimming before we went to dinner but it started to storm, so we watched a little bit of TV and then headed up the the restaurant they have here at the resort and had a great dinner there! We both had steak, potato and salad!

… and now we are back at our lodge and it is still storming so I decided to write the blog and I am going to be heading to bed real soon, since we have been on the move all day!
Hopefully the storm calms down a little so we can get a good nights sleep!
Goodnight everyone! <3
