Lots of photos to catch up on!

Yipee, I can blog.....today and tomorrow for sure!

I can only seem to do one photo at a time from the ipad so they will come up as individual posts so you will have to check them all out.

We have so much to share with everyone! Every day has been an adventure of wildlife, unbelievably awful roads, the occasional dead hippo and people, people, people! We are now into the Serengeti, having crossed into Tanzania yesterday. The fourth poorest country in the world. The big difference between the Kenyan safari camps and the Tanzanian ones is that in Tanzania they are not fenced in to keep the wild animals out. We have to be escorted to our 'tents' whenever it is dark out. I leaped out of bed a few minutes ago because something was scratching at the front of the tent. I could tell it was smaller than a predator so felt somewhat safe to assume it was maybe a vervet monkey??? Our journey yesterday was extended into a 12 hour drive on the worst roads any of us have travelled. Unfortunately we had to take the long route because of the recent rains, otherwise it would have been a 5 hour journey. The road conditions and constant interruptions of goats, cows, people and zebra on the road etc etc, lead to 400km taking 7 hours to drive!
