One of the Awesomes drank so much last night that she was still rather unwell in the morning. Rather than miss out on the game drive she boarded the truck with everyone else but seemed to forget that the track would be rather bumpy.
Ten minutes into the game drive she was looking decidely unwell. [...]
Still in Tanzania, we managed to end up (against our wishes) trapped for six hours in a 4WD vehicle exploring the Ngorongoro Crater with Zoe (yesterday’s SPOTD) and three girls we referred to as “The Awesomes”. It was a hellish experience, primarily due to the fact that they were incredibly immature 22yo girls who:
had developed [...]
During a game drive in the Serengeti this morning we were delighted to discover a cheetah looking to make a meal out of either a Thomson’s gazelle or a red hartebeest. We stopped the vehicle to watch for a while and the cheetah was singling out a meal from among the many antelope so we [...]
On our tour of Tanzania there was a female Australian named Zoe that, quite frankly, was absurdly stupid.

We had a great wedding day yesterday, starting with the brutally early game drive (wake up @ 5:30am) where we saw elephant, rhino, giraffe, kudu and other antelope, and many more animals. The morning was spent lazing on the bungalow porch watching the waterhole, followed by lunch with the Reverend Ron Howard and his [...]
First SPOTD award went to me very early on. In fact, it was because it was early that I got the SPOTD award. In the very wee hours of the morning (pre-5am) it turns out that my brain does not function well and we were a quarter of the way to the airport [...]
I noticed a deal on the South African website for Avis car rentals, exclusively for foreign visitors, where the liability/excess in the event of an accident/theft would be $0. When I checked the fine print, I found that the particular insurance coverage included in the deal did have a liability/excess in such situations so [...]
Later this year we’re planning on travelling in Africa. Last night I was checking through some paperwork that needed to be dealt with in relation to the travel and figured I’d confirm the flight times since we made the booking about 6 months ago. Turned out to be a good thing because although [...]
