October recap - what is new with you?

Each month the lovely Kirsten from http://www.seeyouinaporridge.com/ hosts a link up where bloggers can share a recap from their previous month.

We went to Sun City and Pilanesberg national Park last month and saw the best wildlife sightings since we started visiting this amazing place years ago.It was the hottest weather we've ever experienced - got to 41 degrees the one day.  Took a pic as proof...…..

When we are in Sun City we visit Pilanesberg National Park and stay for hours.  You never know what you'll see and it is always so exciting.  We had the MOST leopard sightings in a trip which was very special.

And of course giraffes!

Mark booked us a drive early one morning which was great.  Each day we went to the park he drove but going with a ranger meant he could sit back and take in all the beautiful sights.The weather was out of this world. 

We took early morning drives through Pilanesberg and then had brunch at the Lost City Golf Club.

I had some pampering at the spa at Gary Player Country Club.

Went to the hairdresser one of the afternoons and then booked a manicure and pedicure the following evening.We spent time at Valley of the Waves.We stayed at the Vacation Club which is self catering.  The apartments are spacious and have aircon (thank goodness with the heat!) 

In the evenings we'd sit on the balcony after supper and just relax with our drinks and snacks and talk about our day and all the sightings.It was such a memorable week and already we are missing this amazing place and want to go back!
