A week in Africa...

Ok, Halina, you were right. It's not that I can't get internet here, it is just so ridiculously slow that I loose my patience. Anyways. I have been in Africa just over a week now. And it has been spectacular. I have seen the big 5 - rhino, elephant, lion, leopard and water buffalo, as well as giraffes, hippos and lots of monkeys. I have seen one snake, bit fortunately it was squished with its guts everywhere in the middle of the road. Our first night in Kruger National Park (South Africa), we went for a night game drive and was it ever amazing. A leopard and her two cubs definately the highlight. We've been on a full day game drive where we could spot the entire cast from the Lion King and have found a kindred spirit in Siobhan (for those of you who don't know Celtic spellings, thats Shivon) who also knows all the words to all the songs in the Lion King and has no problem singing with me, to the horror of her brother and the rest of our crew mates. Our group, until today where we split off, was mostly Aussies, with two Kiwis, 3 Danes and girl from N. Ireland and me, the token North American. Our Guides Danie and Dzingi, where absolutely great. Today we switch to our new guides, of the original 18, 9 of us are carrying on North to Nairobi. So, we've been in South Africa, Botswana and are currently at Livingstone in Zambia where the Victoria Falls are. Yesterday I went micro-lighting, which was more then I could have imagined. It was so impressive to see the Falls from that view point. Aaron (from Oz) went bungy jumping yesterday, the rest of us went and cheered him on. In a couple of hours I will be off on my elephant ride with two sisters, Marrin and Jenny (more Aussies). We are here in Zambia for 2 more nights and then off to Malawi. I will hopefully be able to get some pictures up, if not I will just have to share them when I get home. But I am having a wonderful time, enjoying every bit of it. Hope to update you again soon.
