Well our last day in Africa turned out to be a blast, since we got “stuck” here an extra day we weren’t sure what to do to fill in the day. So after a wonderful sleep in, we got up and went into town, we walked around the market, the market is nothing like you imagine it would be, if you haven’t been here I will explain, it is wooden shanty’s that have two walls and a roof, there is no floor so it is whatever the ground is, most of the time it is dirt, there they hang up items and gadgets to sell, it is actually quite quint, I love it. I ended up buying some fabric to make some African dresses, as I couldn’t find any that were modest that fit my shoulders, so I’m gunna make my own.
After we were done at the market we came back and relaxed in the room, then decided we should do one last safari since we are here. So online we went and booked a safari, we ended up on a little motor boat where for three hours we got up close to Nile crocodile, buffalo, elephants, hippos, and birds. We watched baboons bug the elephants to where they were chasing the baboons, it was hilarious, we watched a baby elephant almost get stuck in the mud because it was following its momma, we saw crocodiles protecting their nests they lay about 80 eggs and sit on the nest for 60-90 days without eating or moving really, and hippos fighting, it was such a interesting night.
Coming back we had African dancers in the pool area and even though we only saw a few minutes of it one lady came out and took my hand and dragged me on the dance floor so I went and tried to mimic them, however my dancing looks like martial arts moves so they were all laughing at me, I didn’t mind though as I was having fun.
We had our meal at the hotel and when we went to sign the receipt I went to tell Nicki something but when I opened my mouth a massive belch came out, I said “omg I’m so sorry I meant for that to be a word there was no warning I was trying to say a word!” the two ladies who were working burst out laughing, and wouldn’t stop, so I said “well I guess that’s a good sign that the meal was good” as we walked away they were still laughing. Talk about embarrassing.
I got three comments from three different Botswana Africans about my dress and they were shocked that I made it myself, one even said can you stay longer so you can make me one.
Africa is amazing, tomorrow evening we catch the first of three flights home.
Have a great time,
Goodnight 🦛
