Kruger
I am updating my blog from Kruger Park this weekend.  It is still one of the best weekends away, and economical.  Having spent weeks and weeks in the park over the last 10 years I am an expert on it - and staying this weekend in Biyamati Camp which has just won, once again, the prize for the Best Bushveld camp in the park.  It amazes me that so many people visit Skukuza which is like a supermarket, although it does indeed have a nice supermarket, but it is way too busy to me and although not the same as staying in Parkhurst next to the park, it does not feel like the bush to me.  I find the bush allows me to think clearly and to relax - and if only the so called "Bosberaads" that everyone likes to hold were actually held in good spots such as Berg en Dal, they might actually achieve better results.  I cringe when I get told some or other organization is going to hold a bosberaad because as a hard worker within the profession, and a former Chairperson of 2 bodies I know well that Bosberaads don't get the lazy to work and if nothing else, the lazy try to find more things for those who already do hard work, to do.  That's hardly the point of course.  Funny the things that you think of on the banks of a river with a cold breeze.  I must be a little too committed to my profession.  Not really, I just guess I enjoy work as do many, and I enjoy being involved.  I am one of those who genuinely try to make a difference and do more than my fair share.  There are far too few like that and if you think the Ronald Bobroff's of this world are an example of the average committed attorney, you are very, very sadly mistaken.  There must be a maximum of 20 people I have come across, altogether, in 8 years and across 3 bodies that even do any work of any substance at all.  I don't mind to write it either, 20 may be generous.  The average attorneys seems to do very little at all for his or her profession and while they may well make great contributions in other fields, or even as parents, they need to realize their profession needs them a whole lot more than they think - and while I have written this so many times, I still await those calls one gets that say "Why didn't you guys..."  Why don't YOU.is the answer.  What I have discovered also is that 3G does not work here - which was the point of bringing a laptop.  I'll upload this on Monday
