holy cow - we are leaving. sad goodbyes to our wonderful hosts at the Bluu Nile hotel - they loved us, and our 'i don't know how much to tip' tipping. :)
driving to our safari game lodge was beautiful - all 10 hours of it - no really, it was really pretty. a lot of the landscape looked like napa valley - very green and lush. we spot many safari animals on our travels - we are in for a real treat!
we see zebra, giraffe, hippo, crocodile, meercat, elephant, buffalo, water buck, impala, dik-dik, crown crane, wart hog - and oh - a LEOPARD! all before we even get there...crazy. i can't believe i'm even here.
we arrive at our hotel - maybe it's my new perception of things - but is this the MOST FABULOUS HOTEL EVER IN THE HISTORY OF HOTELS??!! we walk across a covered, dark wooden bridge to reception, and i can't contain the slightly-under-my-breath statement
'now THIS is what i'm talking about...'
turns out this hotel is a 'game camp'. i like game camps. :)
we are shown to our tented rooms - so cool. i have a pillow! a toliet that flushes, every time! a hot shower! is that? wait - is that a HOT WATER BOTTLE WARMING MY SHEETS?! yes. yes it is. i am in love with this place and will not leave. ever.
we are extremely happy. we roll on our beds and giggle.
the dinner buffet is ridiculous. we found out later that the owners of this place were in for a visit and we were treated to a little bit more food and delightful treats due to this fact - we call ourselves lucky. :) i eat 4 desserts. small portions, but still. 4.
after dinner we take over the pool area and all of the chaise lounges for a shooting star show - the stars are amazing out here - it was dreamy good. it's an early morning for safari - i'm going to my water-bottle heated bed - good night. :)
