I am a little behind!

You are going to see a lot of behinds today. I seem to catch the animals when they are moving away! Maybe I am a behind specialist.

We were suppose to be ready to roll at 630 am. At 635 those two ladies from the mosque, who we asked to join us for the remainder of the trip, were ready. I was not. A little behind.

We finally got off and had our first early morning game drive. The goal today were lions. After a few hours of driving look what we found.

And here is its cub saying what all kids say. “Mom, I am hungry!”

I am not really a birder but have a few friends who are avid birders. Here is my bird picture for them.

Saw a few more animals.

Special alert. Our guide comes from a tribe of bushman. They live off the land. If you are ever caught in the plains without water here is how to save yourself.

I am running behind again. This is from my assistant photographer Sandy. They named Sandy Sunday. Let’s see if it sticks.

Speaking of behind yesterday we saw a special elephant I forgot to share. His name is one ton. He is 50 years old. His tusks weigh over 120 pounds. He was massive and we were told special.

It was now time for breakfast. Breakfast on the plains is a unique experience. Our table.

After breakfast a few more giraffe sightings.

Again I am running behind. I forgot to share a picture I really liked from last nights sundowner. My Princess and me. I think I might have this one framed. Thanks Sunday.

After another great lunch it was time for our afternoon trek. Nate and Sunday made a decision to go horseback riding. They picked out a special horse for Nate.

So they got the biggest horse I have ever seen for him.

Sandy got a real nice horse for her ride.

The Princess and I went on another game drive. She got the big camera clicking for many good shots.

We met up and proceeded to sundowners. Our guide and butler surprised us with a great setting and spread.

For Mark and Dana, you need to start with bubbles. Our butler was a pro at opening the bubbles for us.

Then it was on to our home for another surprise dinner.

I was behind a bit all day but finally caught up at dinner. Let me close the night with a traditional African after dinner drink.

And with that folks good night, or good morning wherever you are. Tomorrow’s blog will be a bit delayed. We are leaving and losing Wi Fi for a while. Rest assured, I promised my coach Allison I would blog every day.
