Back to Normal

Monday marks the real end of school holiday, my first full day at my new job, and a general return to normalcy after a whirlwind of travels and visitors. It was hard seeing people go, and I hope everyone had a great time. For those of your considering a trip out, be assured that we are carefully honing our hosting skills and suggestions so future visitors will get only the best of the best (sorry to those of you who were the initial guinea pigs). At any rate, it is undoubtedly going to be a long week of settling in and I am too tired right now to add anything more of substance but wanted to share a few photos to wrap up the weekend.

We stayed at one of our favorite lodges for a few days and the highlight is the boat safaris. You get just silly close to the elephants and hippos, and we saw ample numbers of both.


K is starting to really get into watching the animals, and it is amazing watching her watching them.


We saw more crocs on this trip than previously. This big guy was not the slightest bit scared of our boat. Usually, as you get close they startle and slither into the water. He just stared right back at us.


We rounded a corner and a whole family of hippos was sunning themselves on the sandbar. The hopped up much more alacrity than you would think a basking hippo capable of and were watching us carefully while considering whether to go into the water or not.
