May 27, 2012

A most exciting visit to the game reserve today!  I came across a Martial Eagle feeding on a Guinea-fowl. I sat there for over an hour watching it trying to hide its lunch from opportunistic crows. 
It eventually moved higher up to a more comfortable spot where it started to feed. 
It was very vigilant and kept surveying the area - even keeping a watchful eye on me too!  
(Elephant, Giraffe, Zebra, Buffalo & Impala on today's list) 

The Hyundai i20 failed the test! I found it rather uncomfortable in the park - although the seats are nice and high, the roof is too low! I had not noticed it before, but I had to deliberately sink down low so that I could see out. Every time I leaned slightly forward I would bang my head against the sun visor. The rear-view mirror also blocked the view even though I am of average height. I could not help but wonder how a tall person would manage. It is a beautiful car otherwise, and surprisingly luxurious with all things electrical, but I have to admit that I can't wait to get my Kia Picanto back. My little 'Mini SUV' - I miss you...
