Today we were picked up by our safari driver bright and early, and driven to Tarangire National Park (in Tanzania). This park is known for Baobab trees (also known as the tree the crazy monkey shaman lives in in The Lion King) and elephants.
We started off at the park entrance where there were a bunch of Vervet monkeys playing around, and then went on into the park. We went to a watering hole, where the animals seemed to take their respective turns drinking and playing in the water.
They literally queued up - it almost had the feel of a wild animal park about it.
As for the blog title. Well, if you've traveled at all then you know that you're bound to experience intestinal distress.
If, like me, you tend to experience intestinal distress even when you're not traveling, well, let's just say it can get ugly.
We're driving along the bumpy roads in Tarangire in the trusty Land Rover, and I'm desperately trying to deal with the churning of my bowels. It felt as though someone was doing the Diet Coke and Mentos experiment - only I was the can of Diet Coke.
About an hour after I started experiencing *ahem* discomfort, I asked the question above. Thankfully there was, and it was the best thing I saw all day. :)
Cheers.
