Spectacular Sunsets
Our next stop was the Kruger National Park. Nothing could have prepared me for what I was about to experience. A lot of people go to see lions and cheetahs. They’re beautiful animals, but it was all the unusual animals that really amazed me. On our first night, the sun set like an extremely large ball of fire. We could hear hyenas calling… I still shake when I think about it. We flew to Cape Town, which is where our trip started. Cape Town is beautiful. On the one side you have the ocean, and on the other side you have Table Mountain, that is really flat at the top. The city also has an interesting history. We were lucky to see the “Second New Year” carnival on January 2nd. There were so many people in colorful clothes singing and dancing. You could feel the celebration and excitement in the air. On our second day in the Kruger, we got to see hundreds of wildebeest crossing a big river. It made me feel upset. It is a difficult and scary thing that they have to do, especially for the younger ones. After Cape Town, we took a train north. It took us a day and a half; fortunately the train was really like a hotel. There were places to eat, and the rooms were really comfortable. We got to see long distances of flat, dry earth. It looked like it hadn’t rained there all year. 3 Read the story again as you listen to it. Is it in the correct order? Write the correct order. 15
