Number 6 and counting...

Yes we made it safely to the dark continent and it was dark when we arrived at 5:30 pm.  Such a change, but it is winter here.  Temp in the mid 60's. We did survive the plane ride and it wasn't as bad as expected.  The refuel stop in Dakar was 8 hours into the flight so it broke it up nicely.  Did not deplane but got a chance to really stretch and move around. 

As I was packing someone must have been looking over my shoulder. I've never done this before but I split our clothes and put some of both Bob's and mine in each suitcase.  Perhaps I jinxed myself as guess what happened...yup.  No luggage for Linda.  So after holding up the whole group once again, I filed a lost luggage report and headed to the hotel.  An hour later I got a phone call (gotta love current technology) from another hotel and it seems like one of their guests mistakenly took my luggage. Now he must have really been wiped after the plane ride as mine is very uncommon and it does have this brightly colored tag that says Travelin' Trio.  Guess I should have had my 'Not Yours" tag on it instead. But it relaxed me some knowing that I would have it soon.  OK, I guess the martini helped some too.

Had a very nice dinner and off to our room by 9:30.  Have met some of our group but not too much socializing as everyone was pretty tired. 

Hard to see but that is the shower in the corner of the room.
Very stylish glass enclosure.

Our hotel room is beautiful and very modern and yes those are twin beds.  Despite the comfortable beds, our body clocks are really off and we are wide awake now at 3am.  Better try to sleep though as the wild things are calling and we want to be ready for safari camp starting tomorrow. 

Back soon.
