First thing first 😉 you shouldn't use other pictures to show up your beautiful country and city unless you took it yourself 😂😂😂 because there're many others had shared it before using the same site...😉

The second: you're 19 but too afraid to explore the maze yourself without your family 😁 oohh come on @shadown99 .. be a man, lol

Third: you could create a different story for each day rather than wrap it all in a single post! 

4th: nice pull of the DQ... really nice cards😉 you'll got the gold when you reach silver 3, the chances are bigger when you pull 5 cards in a dq. See you on the battle field

No wonder it took you so long to write the post, lol. 
Those pictures you post are simply amazing. I have an instant urge to pack my  bags and visit South-Africa. It looks so beautiful over there...

Thanks for sharing your adventures. I feel like I've had an exotic holiday too now :0)

I do agree with @cicisaje, though: you could have had a post every day for an entire week if you had broken it down into shorter chunks.

Oh yeah, once someone is still so young then celebrating is important. Once we turn 40 we stop doing it, right? :)

I'm glad to see that you recharged your batteries dear @shadown99

Did you encounter any crime or poverty during your stay?

Those photos are just amazing. I cannot imagine that it's all from South Africa. OMG.

Love it!
Yours
Piotr
