They lied to us today.   We were told we were going to see some white rhinos in the Rhodes – Matopos National Park.  I fell asleep and I woke up like…”White Rhinos?  I’ve never heard of those before and I never even knew they existed”.  You know me, I’m getting crunk because I’m thinking I’m going to be able to post some pics on the site of some rare animals.  So we ride for about 15 minutes on this long windy road.  As we were riding I noticed some of the most beautiful naturally occurring rock formations that I’ve ever seen.  

We come to this point where Geevis, our “tour guide” says we have to get out and walk.  At this point I’m starting to get a little worried because I don’t want to get close to the rhinos, I just want to see them cause I gotta make it back home…I’m not trying to be an appetizer for a rhino. 

Jahah and Mark W. looking out for our attackers:

 

We start walking on this path and Geevis is walking all fast and us Americans is kinda slow because we’re trying to pay attention so that we don’t get attacked by some impalas or lions or something.  We were also hanging behind kinda slow because this was about a 45-50 degree incline.  Man none of us were in shape for something like that.  It was about 85 degrees outside, we were sweating like crazy and the tour guide keeps asking us “what’s wrong”.  We walked for like 20 minutes and get to the top of this rock.  By now it’s like 100 degrees because there is no shade, the sun is shining dead on us and we on top of a big rock.  I’m thinking to myself “these $#@% rhinos better be worth all of this.

Turns out we were there.  We see Geevis looking through this fence saying “come check this out”.  I walk over there and

All this crap and there aren’t any rhinos.  They call this big rock White Rhino and it has some cave drawings on it that are supposedly 10,000 years old.  Man, I was sooooooooo mad.  I didn’t want to be testing my deodorant for some cave drawings.  Anyway here is the $&#@ picture.  You better enjoy this crap.

 
DoronJazz didn’t go.  I told him how we had been bamboozled and he asked me if it was worth it.   I think you know my answer.
