Arusha Palm House and a Truck

Spent today making a video around the house. Click here to take a look.

Visitors, cheese and Safari.

Wow, what a week. Nanny and Auntie Vicki arrived safely, if not exhausted after almost 24 hours of travel and their first experience of an African massage ( as the bumpy roads are known). They came armed with chocolate, orange squash and mature cheese which was most welcome.

 We soon set off to the Ngorogoro crater on safari, which was amazing. In the two days we counted over 40 different animals and birds, including Elephants so close we could see their eyelashes and sadly an injured Lioness who lay down next to our truck, so close we could have stroked her. She was rescued by the rangers, so hopefully is recovering. We have some great pictures, but I cannot upload them at the moment.

We waved goodbye to Mum and Vicky and are now really preparing to come back to the UK. Its been an amazing adventure, tougher at times than we thought, mainly missing friends and family, but so worth doing.

We have not mentioned the extra challenge of managing a disability over here, and there have been tricky times, but we managed, so anyone reading this thinking they could not come somewhere like this... you can!

We are off to see the BFG film and hopefully do more camel riding on Saturday.
