A Day in the Sun

Bus ride up to Sun City today, a resort/casino place a couple hours up the road, the casino itself is pretty mediocre as far as casinos go, but it looks like a place that would go off in summer when the place would be heaving.

Highlights of the day though…

- Reptile Park on the way up where we saw far too many snakes for my liking, as well as some Pommy nutter , David Jones who is setting a world record by staying in a room filled with over 200 snakes for 120 days, that gave me the creeps as well,

- Crocodile sanctuary at Sun City which houses thousands of crocs, the biggest of which is called Arnie, he is 850kg, 4.7m long and 80 years old, and by all accounts the other crocs don’t mess with him, that's him below,

- A quiet bevie at the Gary Player golf course (ranked no.1 in South Africa) , watching the hackers slap their shots into the water at the front of the 9th green,

- Seeing the monkeys flogging food from a 1st floor room left open, they weren’t fussy either coffee, sugar, croissants, they ate it all, till the Primate Control boy with his paintball gun turned up.

Day ended watching more footie over a few quiets for a change.
