Yes, I know! Another adventure awaits ?
Sunday 2nd Sept 2018
Yesterday we went down to pick up the caravan, then we visited dad and mum. We wished dad a happy Father’s Day, it was lovely to see them both. ❤️
We headed home and by 3pm the caravan was ready to go. We decided we would spend the first night at Gawler, an hour from home. It was good to get through town, the traffic was light and that made the journey this morning easier. Continue reading

This weekend was planned by Deb so we could wind up my birthday celebrations in style together. We have stayed in Bob’s Bungalow at Riverview Rise Retreats in Cowirra near Mannum. Continue reading
Number of Views :2538We had a 3 1/2 hour wait in Dubai for our next flight. It was the first time we had been to Dubai. Was 40C at 10.30pm, but we didn’t feel the heat at the airport. We went to the lounge for a few hours and relaxed. Was the best lounge we went in this holiday.
Was good to finally get on the plane, it had been a long day.
Number of Views :2152Was a beautiful moonrise last night over the Indian Ocean? But we didn’t see the Red Moon. We woke at 6am, with the help of the alarm. Breakfast at 6.30am said our good byes to Harrison & Marica then at 7.30am Douglas our driver took us to the airport. His father came to Kenya with the British in the 1940’s.
Number of Views :1963Last full day in Africa and we slept better last night. ? Today was pretty much the same as yesterday, except on our beach walk with Atheman we headed south this morning, was interesting and different. The reef was out of the water, it looked beautiful. There weren’t as many hawkers and we saw a guy who had caught an Octopus I don’t think I have seen one freshly caught, up close. Our walk was more leisurely this morning, we were gone about an hour.
Number of Views :1909I am going to guess that everyone missed/read over my description of our drive to the airport on Saturday 21 July, I described it as “interesting”, well there was a little more to it than that.
I should say now that we are both in one piece, shall we say, shaken but not stirred. Continue reading
Number of Views :2192We were talking about the highlights of our holiday a few nights ago and I had a revelation, other than the siting of the leopard, and being immersed in wildebeest, no other siting of an animal rated as highly as so many other things we experienced. I had expected the animals on the game drives to be the highlight of our holiday. But our holiday has been so much more than that. We loved the game drives, and did many but other activities rated as highly if not higher in some instances.

We didn’t sleep well last night. We love a firm mattress but the one here is hard, have never slept on such a hard mattress, could have been on the floor. All night long kept thinking I was on a waterboard but B & C insist I wasn’t. ? I obviously had too much time to think. When we saw Marica in the morning to discuss our meals for the day, she said she would swap the mattress over, and kept repeating it was a posturpedic mattress. Hopefully tonight will be better and more sleep will be had.
Number of Views :1923We both slept well last night, around 9hrs or so.
We woke to the sounds of waves breaking on the shore and the smell of the ocean.
It was a day of relaxation, we didn’t move more than 10m from our verandah, and that was only to take photos.
Eggs for breakfast, fresh crab for lunch and prawns for dinner, life is a struggle. Continue reading
Number of Views :2133We started our last day at Angama with a 6:30am game drive. I dont know how we have kept up with the pace, but we have enjoyed it all. We were happy to find out that only the Belgian couple were joining us this morning. The princess from last night (who we found out was here on her honeymoon, I immediately felt for her new husband) had made other arrangements. Continue reading
