This morning I left before sunrise to drive from Pretoria to Thanda. As the mist lifted the African sun appeared and I knew I was back home 🙂
I enjoyed my trip to Europe and the USA very much, meeting with family and friends, gaining a few kilos :-), visiting many “new” and many “old” places. And now it is great to be back in the wild!
PS: Over the next few weeks I will still mix in some “Europe/USA” blog messages as I had no time yet to work on all the images I took!
Imagine you are a twelve-days old Baby Elephant at the new Kaeng Krachan Elephant Park at the Zurich Zoo …
“I have on idea what the fuss is all about? …
… I live in this cool place at the Zurich Zoo …
… and they all treat me like I am royalty or something …
… check out all these people, and just for me! …
… that trunk thing is already working 🙂 – took me a few days to figure it out …
… my mum and my aunties are looking after me very well …
… and that is my daddy in front of our house, big and beautiful, what do you think? …
… and just to let you know, it is our job at the zoo to teach all you guys about my cousins in the wild, even via smart phones 🙂 …
… so, see you at the zoo!”
