(Post scriptum: the staff tell us that Lions have been seen by our truck! Not long after we arrived a group wandered into the car park. The staff bus spooked them. Yikes! Some of our party get a bit edgy, and think twice about wandering back to the chalets alone)
Hooray! We get a lie in to 7.00am. Watch the sunrise from our beds. Below the chalet a lone Oryx munches on savannah grass, and off in the distance a dazzle of zebra gallop towards the waterhole. Breakfast at 8.30am and we’ve said goodbye to the comfiest beds of the holiday so far. Nobody wants to leave, and we are all trying to find excuses not to go. Service is a bit slow but we all fill up on breakfast as we have a 10hr drive ahead and we decide not to stop for lunch. We lounge by the infinity pool for as long as possible. Raynee gets a free Wi-Fi signal and everyone dives in and soaks up data downloads. Harvey tells us from his Kindle than England have won the second test by three hundred and loads. That puts us no. 1 in the world rankings – but Richard says it’s not official.
We head down the hill to the truck only to find we have a puncture. No honestly a real one. Outside nearside rear. Good spectator sport as we sit around and watch all the men giving advice on how it should be done. The girls go off and look for Lion footprints! Left hand threads fox everyone except Kevin and Nick who knew all along.,.
Quotes of the day:
Olivier: “Godfried was using his wanger in bed. He hand both hands on it”Nick: “Namibian ketchup is not as good on my hair as Heinz’s”
Chico: “Ooohhhh yessss”
Today is a 750km yomp. Hope they are mostly tarmac roads.
