Last Day in Botswana - 30 July 2016

30 July 2016

I responded to my 5 am wake-up call and joined the safari ride.  The big excitement of the drive was seeing lion’s with their kill.  Unfortunately again it was quite cold and I didn’t bring any warm clothes.  The blanket provided did help.

I got back and joined Eric for breakfast and then came back to my room for my morning nap and did some updating.  I will have to decide what I want to do this afternoon.  Of course, in part it depends on what is available.

I wound up sleeping for a while and then after lunch I went on the afternoon ride.  There was only one woman on the ride with me.  I wound up having dinner with her and two sisters from England.  I really enjoyed the meal.
