11 January 2013

My wife got a new pair of boots,so we took a ride to break it in and check the fit.
Lets go to somewhere new.


Early sunny Sunday


Roads empty



Riding into the morning sun 


still cool and nice 


NKVE empty :-) 


DUKE also 


Passed a convoy on the opposite lane 



Time to pick up speed soon 


Karak highway.corner after corner.... 


Wasn't going too fast. 


120 -max 140 



So was overtaken by most of the sunday riders 


We all enjoyed the road... 


After about 100km on the Karak highway we turned off... 


Soon we reached here 


Too see the Oliphants


Register then ride in.
Cars have to park much before.... 




Baby ,Asian and Mammoth  ? 
 


In the welcome center 


First time for both of us here 


Surroundings 


Time to go in 



Ollie here     



Nice landscaping 



Next to a river 




First we saw the baby... 




Still small 




Fatty boy...   :-) 


We're very early so the adults are out 


Teenagers.... 



Also want food 


Fighting for it.... 



Max stretch.... :-) 



Had a nice time here... 


This guy put his head out for the food 




Let me take a look at that for you   :-) 



Took a walk to the river...


Its where they bathe the ellies 




The best time is during the afternoon,2.30pm i think when the adults are back ,let out and its feeding time then also.  


Back on the bike 


Through the village roads 



A  great morning to ride


 Soon we were back on the highway... 


Empty  :-) 



Bright sun but still cool wind... 



And great tarmac... 


Unfortunately i was carrying a pillion... 


Was doing 135 here.These guys blew past like i was standing still... 



Reached home soon.
Wife was happy she got to see the baby ollie ..
I on the other hand was hoping for this.
Oh well....


Cheers.
