African Adventures,Day 18 :
Saturday was an early morning and we had to get our things ready for the day. Sunblock,water, cameras, and money was on our list. We would be leaving to go on a Safari for the day then head to the Lodge for dinner. We got onto a Mattatu (Bus) to head to the lodge to then get in some vans that would be driving us around to see animals. We got there and we were greeted with some people giving us fresh juice and we were to wait until our vans arrived. When they did we decided where we would go and got on. I was in an open roof one with Ben, Adam , and Carol.(A fun group :) ) We then headed out to where the animals would be. We saw some birds along the way, but the main part was the lions. We were up close to them and they have the right of way on the road so as we drove along we would be slowly driving behind the lions as they walked calmly down the road. (Hakuna Mattata ) They were extremely close to the vans. We then drove past them and saw MANY other animals along the way. We had some friendly birds come up to our vans. We saw some monkeys playing around and the mother yanking the baby monkey out of the tree as he was showing off! We stopped along the way to see one of the lodges where people could stay(WOW!) and we took a break there then headed back to the other lodge to eat. On our way we had seen more animals... then finally arrived in time to relax, look at the little shop inside the lodge and then...FOOD! The food was ...YUM. (All I can really say!) They had a huge buffet with all kinds of food. And since we have been eating the same food .. Dry toast and eggs for breakfast, rice and sauce with spinach for lunch , And spaghetti with African sauce for supper for 2 and 1/2 weeks... It was the BEST tastes we have had for a long while. After we all just relaxed in the lobby and waited for our bus to bring us back to Bura.We then got dropped in the village to look around then started walking back. On our way back when we were nearly arrived I met my parents heading into the village. (My mom is still in pain from car accidents and stayed back with my dad) I then had to turn around and head back to the village with them to show them a tailor shop(where they would make us african dresses) .. After a long day we all had to go to church, and after it finished we were all ready for bed!
