Back in Snake Park

Jambo guys, sorry for being so lazy about the blog recently. It is just too hot here in Zanzibar at the moment and it takes a lot of effort to do other stuff than going to the beach and jump into the water.


Anyway, I left u at Ngorongoro.

After the whole rope business we went on with our drive through the crater which provides food and water for a vast variety of animals. On the game drive through Ngorongoro we saw two male lions one of them with a beautiful grown mane looking like being part of the Lion King the other one slightly younger but as beautiful as the old one. We saw hippos, flamingos, rhinos, elephants, zebras and wilderbeast. It was amasing. We spent half a day at Ngorongoro including having lunch at one of the lakes in the crater. We were told to have lunch inside the cars as there were birds, big birds I must say, who were keen to steal our food. As I experienced this before I obeyed and stayed in the car while eating. Anyway, there were a few people not caring and one of them actually lost his sandwich to the birds much to our amusment. As soon as we've finished lunch we got on the way back to the camp site at the edge of Ngorongoro. From where we started our journey back to the Snake Park in Arusha.

We left our driver behind in a village close to the crater as he was ill the day we left for Serengeti and was suspected to suffer Malaria. Our tourleader therefore drove the truck. So when we crossed through the village where our driver stayed we were all anxious to know if he was fine again. We met him at a petrol station in the village. It turned out he was still shaky but feeling much better and after all he didn't suffer from Malaria but from a very bad cold. We were very happy about the news.

George then drove us back to Snake Park. As we knew our last night of the trip will be in Snake Park we started to plan the last night which of course had to be a big night. And so it was. Once arrived at Snake Parke we set up our tents quickly and then lined up for showers. There were at least 5 trucks at the camp and the whole camp site provided 3 showers only so imagine the line in front of the showers.

Having showered and feeling fresh we waited for dinner as it was the last night Susan didn't has to cook. The crazy dutch and I decided to have our first drinks before dinner as waiting is easier with a drink in your hand. We decided to have a Konyagi night and therefore started with Konyagi. By the time dinner was served we were a bit tipsy already and had a good laugh while eating. After dinner the drinking went on till late at night and till we almost weren't able to stand anymore. Our group once again proved to be a loud one. We did a lot of singing Hakuna Matata was sung a hundred times followed by 'Something's wrong' by K's Choice. Which no one believed is a real song. But it is. Google it. Els and I performed our elephant dance and convinced some people to do a bolognese with us. The Acacia people once again made fun of the crazy Intrepid and we once again didn't really care and went on behaving crazy and inappropriate.

The next day breakfast was a quiet one and espacially Els didn't feel good. We packed our things quietly and took our seats in the truck. Off we went to the Kenyan border.

To be continued as beach time is near...stay tuned
