The Adventures of Rodrigus the Frog. Hoff vs Chuck- Day at the Redbull Boxcart Races. So who’s more popular? Chuck or the Hoff? Well it’s got to be the Hoff, and he even proved it was today at the Redbull Box-cart races. See all the pics here. Took me along with her to Moyo’s at the Zoo Lake for a birthday breakfast to celebrate her birthday (which is tomorrow, actually). It was such an enjoyable experience- my first birthday celebration since getting out that dusty box! I was really hoping for a crash o...

http://rodrigusthefrog.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
The Adventures of Rodrigus the Frog. Yip- Good Friday came about and we packed the cars and went off to Clarens. We passed lots of mielie signs. Along the way, and stopped for a pit stop in the tiny dorp of Reitz- even got to check out the local talent there as they drove passed in a bakkie pumping some cool tunes! In the cafe we found this sign that Rod just loved! We only got to sample the pie on our last day, and Rod believes it is great pie! There was a big market in the square. Walks in the mountains.

The Adventures of Rodrigus the Frog. All the way from Durban to the Portuguese Island off Mozambique. Remember Andy and Tracey who took Rod to the Durban July horse races. Well, they also organised a poker cruise, and Alix, Rod and I went along for the experience and to help out a bit. We were amazed at the amount of trucks we passed between Pietermaritzburg and Durban, and in this video clip. Then it takes a few days to get your land-legs back once we were back on African soil! The best part was the tri...

http://rodrigusthefrog.blogspot.com/2009/09/namaqualand-flowers.html
The Adventures of Rodrigus the Frog. It happens once a year. And only if there's been enough rain during the winter. If the conditions are right, and you time your trip well, you get the chance to see the dry, dusty semi-desert transformed into spectacular colour and scent. There was enough rain this year. And we timed our road trip. Up the west coast of Africa just right, and got to see plenty of this:. We stayed at the Agama Tented camp. On our day to Skilpad Nature Reserve.

The Adventures of Rodrigus the Frog. Rod hits London again! I called up Rodrigus at Retha's. Place where he was staying, and he jumped at the chance to go explore more of the UK. He'd been for a fleeting visit to London with Linda. And was keen to go explore some more. At the airport on our way to London, we bumped into Bryan. And he and Rod reminisced for a moment about the movies and the tour of Soweto they did together. Passed the Queen's guards, to Covenant Garden to watch a busker juggling knives.
