Hello people. For this blog, I want to tell you all about our trip to Zimbabwe and Victoria Falls, which is one of the seven natural wonders of the world. But before I do that, I should tell you that before we left South Africa, we played soccer with a bunch of other kids from a local township near Gansbaai. It was part of a Spaces for Soccer Project that the owner of Grootbos, Michael Lutzeyer, helped put together. It was fun and the score was tied 3-3. My friend Owen scored all the goals for our team!

Hi everyone! For this blog we start out in Mt. Lamington National Park at O'Reilly's Rainforest resort. At O'Reilly's we stayed in a cottage that stuck out of the side of a mountain and in the mornings, we could see and hear all types of colorful birds. When we were out exploring, at we came across wild birds feeding, so soon we had trays of bird seed in our hands and were being swarmed by big colorful birds called Crimson Rosellas that would perch on our shoulders and land on our heads. We also did a lot of hiking while we were there and on one of the treks we saw a memorial for a Stinsen plane crash that happened in Lamington State Park in the 1930s. One of the original founders of the resort, Mr. Bernard O'Reilly, went out to search for the missing plane and discovered it with two survivors, after over a week, so he was a big local hero.
