Man Braai that turned into a Girl Braai

Ant, Lara, Tiff and I decided to go out to Black Rocks and have a "Man Braai" last night. Man Braai = meat, rolls, sauces, booze, braai, wood, no plates, no utensils except tongs and leatherman, no serviettes.

It turned into a slight Girl Braai, as the girls decided to bring along a bucket to carry stuff and marshmallows for desert.

Heading out to Black Rocks which is a 1hr drive each way, we saw a Nubian Woodpecker (lifer for me), Koke's Hartebeest, Topi, Brown Parrots, Rollers, Coqui Francolins, Red-Necked Francolins, White-Backed Vultures, Buffalo, Giraffe, impala, Black-backed Jackal hyeana and smelled a really fresh carcass, but couldn't find it in the long grass at night.

We ate boeire rolls, and a flattie chicken and of course marshmallows, we drank jamesons, smirnoff, gin and red wine - at least we pretty much stayed with one type of drink each, otherwise it could have gotten messy.

Below are some pics of the epic event.
