I did a nature guiding course a long time ago, and according to that the biomass of termites in the Kruger National Park exceeds the elephant population there.

Fully agree, I came back searching for this submission again just to say that. Looks beautiful on both mobile and desktop without all the normal ads and links screaming for your attention. Love the full background photos and videos

Didn’t know about that. Does not look like it has Safari or IE support

Correct, there used to be a granary (for storing grain) from 1657 in the time of the VOC (Dutch East India Company)

For some strange reason, Dr Christiaan Barnard keeps popping up in my life. There is a distant family connection and I found him associated in the past in one way or another with a number of places and organisations that I have been involved with. I live two blocks away from Groote Schuur Hospital in Cape Town and look up the hill at the imposing and beautiful building every time I leave the house. Sadly I have not been to the museum itself (isn't that typical for locals), but know about it and will make a point of it to visit next week. The other thing is that I grew up in Ceres (a small rural village surrounded my mostly fruit farms) and I had no idea that he was a GP there, admittadly a long time before I was born or my family moved there, but that is normally something that a town will boast about. You learn something everyday!
