Back in South Africa, I needed to swap the bikes over. No surprise. They did not find anything to explain the electrical tomfoolery. They thought maybe my satnav which I wired onto the battery.Unlikely I thought as it has its own fuse but did not want to challenge as I'd dropped the starship enterprise when filling up in Mozambique leaving a scratch here & there.
Back with my little thumper, I thought what to do. Geoff (who runs the guest house) suggested a local "Lion Park".
Effectively a series of enclosures, the Lion Park was more open zoo than anything else. But the habitat & setting was as it would be where the animals roam freely (Kruger is just the other side of the mountains).
A giraffe led the way determined not to be hurried by a tourist bus.
It was in the early thirties. The lions were lazing (I have never seen them otherwise). "The males sleep 22 hours & make love around 50 times a day" said our guide.
Nice life.
