Alice had a lot to tell us yesterday about what they had been doing since we talked from Livingstone. She had one of "the best birthdays ever" at the school, being with the children, helping with the plastering, and then the children sang Happy birthday and threw a bucket of water over her...a tradition apparently, which she said was just what she needed at the end of a hot day!!
Another great highlight was the salt pan "the size of Switzerland", where they slept under the stars all bundled up in extra warm bedding as it was freezing cold. It was SO quiet, the stars SO bright, the sunrise stunning, "It was magical".
They did a walking safari which was fascinating as they got a completely different perspective from being on wheels, footprints, scat, insects and always the excitement of what might be around the next corner!!
Seeing the elephant, hippos and of course the lion eating an elephant carcass was "so cool", but then Alice's love for anything on 4 legs surpasses all else!! The stomach bug did not feature much only that most of them had spent one night on the floor close to the "loo"..."it was the best place to be"
It seems that all fun, busy and cool with the girls, they seem to make friends wherever they go, i hope all is well with all of you.
