Seriously, have a wonderful time - and you are both already addicted, you just don't know it yet.

Thank you Billyf! I think you are right! It must be from reading all these wonderful KTP trip reports! :lol:

Don't you think it could be dangerous to leave me with Lion Queen in Upington without our SOs? Do you want Upington painted red? :tongue:

Well, that may not be a bad idea - nothing has happened in Upington for the last 10 years :hmz:

And maybe Philip would like to come and keep the peace :whistle:

Morning all

.

Will leave the office at ten this morning to get the 3 times 4X4's ready for their vacation, starting at 08:00 tomorrow morning :whistle:

. We don't start packing with them around, because they get so stressed out that we will stay at home in the end :tongue:

.

Then it is also time to prepare the wagon against all the red sand that will try to stick to the luggage in the back :hmz:

.

Only two sleeps to go before the "trek" starts to the red sands of KTP :thumbs_up:

As you say nothing has happened here the past ten years........so there will not be enough red paint........ :whistle:

Maybe we could go donkey racing in the dirt main road after we visited the saloon??? Just have to make sure the sheriff is not in town next week then!!!......... :hmz:

We should advertise Upington as the town where time stood still for ten years........ :lol:
