Shoestrings

We've arrived, seen way too many bugs already and the sun is about to go down. Hostel we're staying in is actually pretty nice, wouldn't expect anything more from a hotel here.

As i'm typing a cheeky lizard is wandering past me on the wall, I think i'll name him Sid. There's also a pig here, not sure if he's a pet or dinner. There are two big guard dogs here, great danes I think. We've decided that they have them here to get you used to the elephants that you will see when wandering around the streets at night - yes we're in the middle of a national park where they just wander around. Apparently it's not the elephants you have to worry about, it's the lions - comforting...

Flights were fine, got champers on the way out on account of me being a total 'tard and not liking the flying.

Will update when we next have something interesting to say!

We're in frickin' Africa baby!!

Hi guys, sounds amazing already!!

Not too sure if the dogs will be Great Danes though Jenni, I think they'll probably be Rhodesian Ridgebacks as they originate from there. They will be there for your protection as they're working dogs and are actually bred to work in packs, keeping lions at bay.
So rest assured because you won't need to worry about any 'lil lions being around when there's a couple of Rhodesian Ridgebacks hanging around your gaff, lol.

Enjoy all your new experiences, take lots of photos and have a brilliant time.
I'm off to Victoria Falls now so I'll speak to you both soon ;0)

Take care & look after each other,
Lots of love - Mum xxxxx
