My Parents' Visit to South Africa

My parents arrived in South Africa to visit us this December. While they were here we did a lot of outings and got to spend lots of quality time catching up and enjoying the holiday season. South African style of course. I was able to put my fear of monkeys aside so that my parents could enjoy Bush Babies, the beautiful monkey sanctuary in Hartbeespoort. I did, however, let them take to cable car in Hartbeespoort to the top of the mountain without me. My fear of heights is apparently greater than my fear of monkeys.
