After yesterday we ashamed of the poverty of the people were facing, waiting for us today, the abundance of nature. South Africa is a land of contrasts - and the contradictory feelings. Today we were allowed to enjoy and have it be done to breathe after the deep and lasting impressions of the first week. the morning we took leave of the monks of the abbey, which we had with Benedictine
received hospitality. Likewise, but also by Bishop Gerhard Ludwig Mueller, Michael Kaplan and Sister M. Dressel Godehard that returns at noon in Johannesburg flew to Germany. The Bishop gave us the blessing for our trip another tour before we left Inkamana after five eventful days. Approximately three and a half hours were driving towards the coast in front of us. The sun was still a bit hotter. Unfortunately, the bus was also the boys halfway hot. The boys were allowed to change. For them, it went straight on to the Hluhluwe Umfolozi National Park. For the male voices a forced break was announced. They made the best of it - that's Africa. They dived into the colorful life of an African fruit and vegetable market, ate at Wempy at the gas station in the middle of the bustling business and bustle of the locals. When the men shortly after 17 Clock in the National Park arrived, it was the individual arrival of the Cathedral Choir: They got off the bus and smashed a simplified "Hallelujah".
Hluhluwe - that's pure peace: as far as the eye can see great outdoors. In 1897 were about 250 kilometers north of Durban, which was founded two game reserves Hluhluwe and Umfolozi to protect the last rhinos. They were the first animal protection areas in southern Africa. In 1998 the two parks and the intervening corridor were combined to Hluhluwe-Umfolozi Park. He has a size of over 96 000 hectares, making it the fourth largest park in the country. In addition to 1250 foot-wide and 300 black rhino live in the reserve, lion, cheetah, leopard, giraffe, elephant
s, buffalo, crocodiles, wildebeest, impala, zebra, antelope and hyena. We are still in Zululand, today landscapes of bizarre rock formations passed through, were on the move by rich flowering tree-lined streets. Before us stretched wide open plains with savannah grass and the spreading canopy of acacia trees. This is all Kwazulu-Natal. The cathedral choir sing their songs in the size of the Creator, where we experience the beauty of his creation. In the middle of this area
lush greens our neighborhood, the Zulu Nyala H
eritage Safari Lodge. With us at the lodge live the way zebra graze peacefully among the tables, and several crocodiles. To reassure the parents: The Cathedral Choir is still complete. And they sang after dinner at the lodge terrace with Zulutänzern the South African national anthem.
