The week of 6th to 12th November:
The week was qutie dull did not much from Monday to Friday.
Friday 10th Nov: Tried out khaana at an Italian resturant, for lunch. Was ok :) Then went down to Pretoria, had to do some Indian grocery shopping. We were too late though. The shops were all closed. Came back to gallo manor and pati made some yumm mutton curry, first time in Joburg.
Sat 11th Nov: Went down to "GAME" the store at FourwaysMall. Its like costco - Makro here. Hugeee! Fourways Mall itself is huge with all the stores and also the cinemas. Then went to Montecasino. My first visit to a Casino, ever. The buildin itself was beautiful and the roof had the look of a blue sky with clouds :) Had lunch there and tried to watch the movie "Grudge -2" horrible thing. I could not stay there beyond 10 mins. Oh the first part is the original on which the hindi movie "Bhoot" was based on. Got out of the movie and got back home. I made real horrible chicken curry that night :)
Sun 12th Nov: Went to Rhino park which is near Kruger's drop. This park had Rhinos (2 of them we could see), deers, Tigers - Siberian and Bengal tigers, Hippos :), Lions - oh we got to see them at lunch time, when food was dropped off for them, some process it is. These Lions were perched at a certian spot and were facing the path which came from the entrance. Everyday they get lunch at 1pm. When it was close to 1pm, they seemed to be gettin restless. There were a lot of cars parked right in front of them at a lil distance. A couple of them actually got up and went towards the path, bang next to the cars. That must've been some scare for those people in those cars. Then the food car arrived. Infact there were 2. One was quite far away (1st car) and the other drove on this path (2nd car). The 2nd car infact seemed to be drivin the lions away from where they were sitting. It was a circular kinda space. Then the 1st car came down that way, super fast and the lions were runnin almost along side it. Suddenly, it dropped the food it had at the back of the car and then sped off. The lions were all over the food. Seemed to be a dead buffolo or something... not sure!
Phew! that was something. Quite an experience.
