Kurma

The Kruger National Park in South Africa is one of the continent's oldest and largest reserves. The park boasts a tremendous variety of game and birdlife in its numerous habitats.

I'm heading there early Monday morning - a four-and-a-half hour drive from Jo'burg just to the closest entrance at Southern Kruger - for a respite from all my cooking. It'll be nice to just hit the road and feel the wind through my hair (or where it used to be).
