I took this photo yesterday at the Kragga Kamma Game Park. We got lucky and entered the Cheetah reserve at feeding time, just behind the keepers in their pick-up truck. Got some cool pics. The animals were so close, I managed to get some excellent pictures of zebras, rhinos, buck, giraffes and warthogs too. I would love to post all of my pics in my picture gallery but I am borrowing someone’s internet connection and they only have a 56k modem - I don’t want to land them with a huge phone bill. Apparently, broadband is available here in South Africa, but it’s very expensive. I understand the telecom operator here has a monopoly and charges a ridiculous amount for ADSL - I hope they get forced to be more competitive, just like BT have been in the UK. Having cheap broadband at home is really important for me now - and to think, I had to put up with the ‘internet through a straw’ once too. It’s just not the same when you have to connect every time you want to do something or think about how long you’re spending online.
