Just got back from the canoe trip, It was amazing! We saw about 400 hippos, 10 crocs and about 30 elephants in a 50km stretch along the river. Wednesday morning we awoke to an elephant touching the top of our tent with his trunk. He then stood at the back of our tent whilst we had breakfast and brushed our teeth. We had a couple of close calls along the way. One hippo came swimming after us and we had to paddle fast to get away. The other scary moment was paddlin...

We have now both comp...

This week has been VERY busy and the reality of our trip is starting to settle in. We started the week with moving out of our little place. It was sad and exciting. We are very grateful to our friends that helped out, and a big shout out to Darth Vader for all of his hard work. This week I'm in the process of selling my car and getting an overhaul at the dentist. I have started to sell off my make up kit to my lovely colleagues and Kevin is working hard at handin...
