Rain rain go away!

 A quick update of today while I have the time and electricity!

This morning was quite a amusing. The aim was to track White Rhino. We drove around in the back of the truck in the pouring rain to find erm...no rhino!

After breakfast we picked up bits and pieces of a Zebra from the butcher (thank goodness this was after breakfast) to feed Mambo the lion and 2 hyenas. Wow Mambo has to be the most impressive animal I've ever seen. Thing is he has a few anger issues (he killed his 'wife' a few years ago so lives on his own) so he was quite terrifying to be around as he would run up to the fence and launch himself towards you! He settled down once we fed him his Zebra!

 We now have the afternoon off which is why I've found the time to write! The fire is lit downstairs (yes it's 20 degrees outside but we've all turned soft and we're wet from this morning!). I'm really missing chocolate. I have to make honey sandwiches after every meal (yes every meal) just to get some form of sweetness and sugar!! The whole house has learnt I'm very protective over my honey (family at home you can relate)! Everyone thought they were bad with missing chocolate and sweets until they met me! In fact we seem to spend most of our time talking about food! Something I've learnt about myself: I could never go on a diet!
I have however (of course it would be me!) booked a table for the 7 of us volunteers tomorrow evening to have a 3 course meal at the Lodge. It had to be done I need a dessert!!We all can't wait - $20 for a 3 course meal?! Yes please!!

I've added some pictures on Facebook and will try and add videos too. The videos won't load on here. Hope you are all well and enjoying the weather - it's better there than in Africa would you believe!!
