So we awarded ourselves some time out.The next step will take some planning so a bit of list making was in order.
Which is probably a good time to admit to how well we are being looked after and what an absolutely beautiful place this is.
It`s a bit of an artifical bubble - rather like the difference between rural Aberdeenshire and the National Trust properties with their manicured gardens and neat paths - but stunning nevertheless.
Kelly (remember her from the BookBus in Zambia - see previous posts from 2013) recommended a Sunset river cruise on our first night as a way of recovering from the journey. It would have seemed rude to decline ;) and it was the perfect antidote, especially as it included drinks (G&T anyone?) and tasty snacks (the best spare ribs ever) as we floated past a pod of hippos and watched the sun slowly sink below the horizon.
So after a relatively relaxed day today (including lunch at the Lodge
with two other BookBus stalwarts and Waterberry regulars) we are raring to go to the next stage tomorrow, even if it may be a slighter shorter working day for reasons that will be revealed........
.
P.S. Wednesday 16th. We did have shorter day because it was a special birthday for one of our esteemed volunteer colleagues: no fuss she said so all we did was have our own private cruise on the river and a special meal at the Lodge. Definitely no fuss but Many Happy Returns B. ;)
