the place has B+B & self catering units :thumbup: , in the morning had brekkie, (nice), then played with the quards & drank more, did not drive a lot because was misbehaving on Sat :boredom: oh well i drank

Sunday after breakfast, we drove up to Katse dam & i lost all my words, what a drive :clap: :drool:
