...so the new arrivals. I'll focus on the family from Luxemburg.
This family were on vacation for 10 days. In that time they are being flown around by private pilot and plane.
The mother had peroxide blonde hair and looked like she'd spent far too long in the sun. With cigarette hanging out of her mouth, Louis Vuitton bag, white studded trainers, you get the picture. The daughter and her friend wore tight fitting earl jeans with stone studded pockets, some seriously nice cowboy boots and the tightest tee-shirts I have ever seen. Jan, we have talked about JP's, I christened these girls LP's! The son and father looked equally as wrongly dressed for their surroundings too.
What summed them up more than their looks, cos you never can judge a book by it's cover, was their reaction to the tracking briefing...
They were told that they would have to do some walking, and that it may be just 30 minutes but it may be half an hour, to which they all said that they "don't do walking". They were then asked if they had walking boots with, to which they replied "no and why?". I mean you have come to a rhino camp to track rhino on foot and you don't want to walk?
For all their whining and moaning and unwillingness to 'get involved', they were actually quite amusing and fun to chat to. And I honestly think at this stage that El and I thought a lot of what they were saying was exaggeration, oh how this was one time our first impressions were right!
Oh and one last thing, this was New Years Eve and we struggled to stay awake to see midnight in...were it not for the jolly mood of Desire, the manager, we'd have all happily sunk into bed by 10pm!
