Awake and up all night

Safari holiday sounds brilliant so far, Shimmers  

Now waiting for big game encounters  munch 

First of all you get these for sustenance

and then these for progress so far

Cheers

Thanks Miss. I love being teacher's pet! Nosh, gulp, belch.. 

Hmmm have we scared Fliegel off?

Whatever your method, I know you will be organised and get it done. Given you don't have to be completely out of there in order to be in new place, as long as you can move daily essentials and any furniture you are taking, the rest can be at your leisure.

Cheers

Ooer, I hope Fliegel doesn't think we're all nutters here. Come back, we'll behave, promise. 

Now once/if we get to contract signing I'll see if I can start ordering essentials and give a date. Then I'll need to organise a removal van and sort Council Tax and other things. 

I'm planning on getting the flat habitable first, then coming back here daily to get the rest of it ready for the estate agent to come and do his stuff. 

I know there'll be 2 lots of CT to pay till it sells but I'm prepared. It's odd but getting my teeth into a project fires me up, even though I'm incredibly lazy by nature and prefer doing nowt xxx

enjoy!

So we were lucky in that our minibus driver Michael was a sweetie and there was only 6 of us in our bus. I had imagined all sorts of scenarios in the middle of nowhere...

we actually flew from Manchester so the first culture shock was the contrast of the airport on landing. We were then packed into an old coach and waited for some people... in the heat... and waited ... could have sold our little hand held battery fans for a fortune... why had no else thought about it?

Turned out those we were waiting for were already aboard! So we set off... initially buildings looked familiar but quaint... like stepping back in time and then as they petered out ... big changes ... the odd little cluster of wattle and daub buildings with a hand scrawled sign saying Hotel was a might concerning ...

See I knew you were on it.

We eventually arrived at the resort. Fuuuu! Large central area under huge straw roof with the bar and reception and tables for food etc and each couple had a little round house as bedroom with shower etc 

Amazing gardens with peacocks etc fabulous exotic and huge plants but again  ... why was I the only one who had thought about a torch for walking about in the pitch dark? This is how I heard and SAW the snake slither across the path in front of us and the next morning collected it's skin that it had sloughed off on the rocks edging the path

Because you've got a functioning brain and foresight. You a Girl Guide in a previous life?

I love snakes  the sloughed skin a memento, hmm?

The gardens obviously had things that lived there and visited, much bigger versions of stuff than I had seen before but out in the minibus was where the animal spotting really ratcheted up.

A leopard sashaying down the road in front of the bus could give any catwalk model a run for their money!. After a torrential downpour ( previous week some people had gone home early kuz it had rained!!!) the gazelles were leaping about like spring lambs and Michael made me smile by saying the rain ' had boosted their spirits.' There was lots of excellent English spoken but like the buildings it was quaint. 

Tortoise popped out after the rain... HUGE tortoise! Most things bugger but something that was like a Disney invention, a barely foot high deer a dik-dik
