I've cropped and zoomed this so you can see - he's got an antelope of some sort with him.We also followed a lioness around for awhile this morning, and saw her drink from a pool just like a (very large) kitty:
Then it was time to leave the Serengeti - and the driver was in a hurry.
In my job, I go on a lot of sales calls. One of the interesting quirks of sales people is that for them the time necessary to get to an appointment is simply a math equation. "Ok, it's 30 miles away, and I've got 15 minutes, so I've need to average 120 miles per hour. No problem." As a defense mechanism, I've taken to buckling in (tightly) and concentrating on my blackberry.
Unfortunately, my blackberry is in a drawer at my in-laws. It probably wouldn't matter anyway, since there are neither seat belts nor handles in the back of the land rover and I'm being tossed around like a sack of potatoes.
I spent some time trying to distract myself by converting our speed from km/h to miles/h, but refuse to believe that he's really taking these roads that fast. Finally, I turn to my lovely wife to commiserate, only to see that she's sleeping!
Somehow, against all odds, Jen has managed to not only fall asleep but stay asleep as we're bounced around the interior of the cabin. I'm stunned by this, as is the driver. She is literally being thrown between the side of the truck and the armrest on her chair, pitched forward and back, and yet she's still asleep.
Hey at least it distracted me for awhile.
Today's blog title is reference to our accommodation. Another tented camp, another dearth of hot water and electricity. They did have fireplaces in the room, but evidently without working chimneys, so of course we had to open all the windows to avoid being smoked out. Nothing to be done about our clothes, though.
