Day 15 Pezulu Tree Houses

Pezulu Tree Houses Hoedspruit
Day 1

How do I explain the 2010 Trip to someone that has not experienced it with us?
The trip started off as a holiday but soon changed into a full blown adventure and
day 14 is not different!
It started off at Graskop Big swing. Some fearless individuals decided to do
the Big Swing. A person free falls for 70m and then swings accross the gorge, Me of course,
gave it a huge miss as the jump was in dense mist. It was quite
an adrenalin rush for those who did it and they received certificates for jumping. Well done!

We finally arrided at our long awaited tree house accommodation, PEZULU.
What a resort! If you would like 4-star accommodation combined with
with 5-star service in the bushfeld, then this is the place for you.
'Awesome' is the closest word that describe the tree houses. A person needs to
be there to to fully experience that! Some of us were so taken by Pezulu
that we forgot to drink our welcoming juice.

We ended the day with a three course meal in a huge lapa where we were treated
as kings and queens. As per HKGK tradition we had our Tribal vote and Chris was voted
as the 'King'. Big mistakes for some of us but that is another day...
You needed to be on this trip, for a one in a million adventure.
That's me signing off....
