February 25 PRETORIA

Great sleep in today. Johnny had the day off, so we went for a 5k walk in the Groenkloof nature reserve very close by. It was early and not too hot. Great exercise, and I took pics to show you. We saw two rock rabbits, quite big creatures, and several giraffes. No predators in this area!!! Afterwards we went to the shopping centre, and I got a South African simcard/phone number so am now online, and have phone contact. Bought a few supplies, a new sunhat with wide brim, and we got some groceries. Back home to rest, supper and early night, as we are all tired.
