September 5th

Woke with the soft tones of my wife (Jenny's) voice, we started the day with banter.
Breakfast was filled with the night befores shananagins of enraged baboons and tales pf guards with guns coming to kill a centipide - which nearly happened by the way!
The mornings R&R was well respected with sunbathing, diary writing, girl talk of shaving, boobs and deep debates about the haulocaust and miracles - we like to mix things up and keep things fresh you know!
Learning swahili in the shade of the midday sun was fun and obviously we learnt the most useful and basic of words - so of course we learnt 'crap', 'cool beans', 'tip top' and 'FOOOOOD!'
The gamedrive was a hidden competition of camera zoom and then next David Attenborough (ME :D) emerged.. oh yes - watch your back mr! We drove to the travelers lodge and it was absolute heaven on earth as we watched elephants with a Tusker (local, amazing, beer) in one hand and a camera in the other - BRILLIANT! The ride home in Rusty wasn't so pleasant though a she pinged a branch and a poisonous fuit flew of and smacked me square in the nose.. i hid the tears under my sunglasses... then burst out laughing ! i still can't get away from stupidity following me around even if i AM on the other side of the equator! Bryony, Ben and I didn't hear Stevie shout it was poisonous and proceeded to play with it and decided to keep it as a souveineer getting the nesty juice all over our hands, sitting on them all the way back home wasn't pleasant and a little numbing! haha.
Jenny and i had our first couple argument, over food... and it wasnt really an argument.. more "GIVE ME A BIIIIIIT!" argument.. haha! We soon made up and invited everyone to our tent for a party
