Chili Pepper Lodge - Kruger Park

Here's where we stayed for five days over Christmas. Just outside of the village of Hazyview which is just 10 kilometers from Kruger Park.



The courtyard - looking out from our room.


The pool


The Hippo pond

A friend who sat beside us at the pool. Look closely and you'll see he has a few battle scars on his back.


The Pillay family who befriended us and helped us get through a lonely Christmas day.

A cute anecdote about young Dylan. The previous day he and his family went to a National Park area called God's Window. It is a setting on the top of a small mountain that looks out over a jungle/bush valley. It is nice but nothing compared to some of the great vistas that we have at home. All the way to this scenic spot young Dylan had ideas of this great window that maybe looked at God or from where God looked at us. When he got there, he had one look at the vista and said very loudly - "If this is God's Window, it's pathetic!!" He got a lot of laughs from the nearby tourists who overheard his comment.
