I found out that I missed the Joburg CFUG by a few days! I'm not, however, too sure attending a CFUG during our vacation would've met with great reviews on the homefront.
After getting in to Johannesburg, we spent the weekend with high school friends of Dale's, heading off to a resort/casino called Sun City for a day, then having a braai (barbecue) with a few other high school friends and their children.
On Monday, we left for a six-day guided tour through Mpumalunga and the Kruger national park. In three days, we logged thirty hours of riding in different cars looking for wildlife at 15mph. We were extraordinarily lucky, with any one day filling what would normally be a week - ten lions, a night ride with a pride of lions, four leopard spottings (pun intended), and a chance encounter with a rare pack of wild dogs. Good stuff.

Joe,The greatest restaurant in the world is on the east coast just south of a town called Lamberts Bay.
The restaurant is called "Muisbosskerm" and I guarantee it is well worth the trip.
It's been 10 years since I've been there, and I think about it at least twice a month!
Oh... and it is not an expensive meal either!
Have a great time in South Africa. I lived there for a year and loved it.
