    Fast food, with a 7 minute wait

    Thursday, July 24th, 2008

    Funny sign if you think about it.  7 Minutes back to a MacDonalds.  SO you are headed somewhere and have made 7 minutes progress, head back 7 minutes, get your fast food, and turnaround again for another 7 minutes.  So you are out 21 minutes, you have not got any closer to your destination, but you do have food.  Hmmmm…..

    Speed limit, police number, private response and radar….

    Beware….crossing ahead

    Sunday, July 6th, 2008

    A few days back we saw a warning for toads crossing. As we drive around all manner of warnings crop up. The first today, a particularly athletic stag.  And congratulations to the designer of the sign for the level of detail from the antlers to the tail.

    Penguins and handshakes do not mix

    Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008

    So fair enough in this nature preserve, no smoking, no alcohol, no music, no dogs, but the prohibition on shaking hands with the penguins seemed very specific…

    Do not grab the penguins

    do not shake hands with the penguins

    Lookout - penguins ahead

    Tuesday, July 1st, 2008

    Definitely not a sign seen frequently in the UK or the US and not one we expected in South Africa…so we learned something new that day.

    Beware - penguins

    And here they are again:

    <Penguins ahead

    Coming up tomorrow - more penguins
