Boogie night and bumpy day


After a full and exciting week it was time to take off our teaching hats and put on our boogie shoes. As tired as we all were we managed to have our first cold one. By the second one you could see body movements starting to emerge.

After the third tantalizing drink we were all in full swing. Some of us had dancing partners and some of us just looked in amazement at the unique dance movements the locals were displaying.

As the night rolled on we found there was a champion amongst us who captured the attention of all the locals. Potting down the balls one by one Sally managed to clean the table with one clean sweep. Everyone was in an uproar.

As you do when you’ve had one too many you need to visit the wonderful loo. Wow! how honored was I to find a loo with my name on it. I can’t remember how many times I blessed it, but I can tell you one thing, this will be one loo I will never forget.

Waking up with a slight headache from the night before, we headed off to Kafue Safari Park. Our bumpy journey started off with an attack of the local flies. Luckily for us we had a professional pest control person in the back of our trusty four wheel drive.

As we journeyed further into the park we came across the most amazing animals, and although it took along time to spot the ones we wanted to see (elephants, lions, giraffes)
I think people were starting to hallucinate, therefore logs turned into cute little animals and Impala’s turned into lions. All in all it was the most fascinating experience that ended with a beautiful sunset and a family of elephants.
