What a lekka weekend. We arrived at Hippo Pools on Saturday morning after a lovely and uneventfull flight of 1h20 min from Komatipport. We were greated at Hippo Pools by Ryan and team and enjoyed a great breakfast. After breakfast we booked in at the Hippo Cottage and then the fun started. We were entertained by Neville and Garry with their Yak's and at the same time we prepared the Animal for a photo sorty with Graham aka velocity. The jump went smoothly and velocity took some pic's. Unfortunately our pic's did not catch the exit out of the plane. Saterday night we had a great dinner and Willie handled the price giving and the rest. Some great prizes were up for grabs with the raffle but I will leave that part to Willie. We arrived back at Komatipoort on Sunday at 11h00 after yet another great flight. Great weekend, great food and excellent facilities. Highly recomended.

I want to post pictures as well, but the system keeps asking me to log in, although I am logged in.

What must I do?
