As we arrive at the last stretch of our Tanzania Expedition/Safari adventure. Group 3 went to Lake Manyara on a walking safari which other than a blood trail leading to an unfortunate Water Buffalo that had an incident with a lion was 'Fine' by our consensus. The team then continued their trek to find the remains of its skull which was picked clean by a pack of hyenas leaving nothing behind except the broken skull
Group Six Went to Tarangire seeing a multitude of animals including Elephants, Monkeys, Impala, Lions (or warthogs at a distance ) , A leopard (some of them did but not all), warthogs (no doubt this time ) and lots of wildebeests coupled with Zebra .
Group 4's walking Safari stood for 20 mins as elephants blocked their path. It probably didn't help that monkeys were feeding the baby
Group 1's journey led to a robbery happening whist they were in the car. A monkey had climbed in through an open window and stole Lauren's packet of crisps. As it fled the scene with its reward Lauren got out the car and screamed "THERE'S A MONKEY IN THE CAR!"

ReplyDeleteWhat happened too groups 2 and 5 they seem to have gone mising
ReplyDeleteAnother fantastic blog,just think of all the lovely memories you will all have,please tell our Ellis, Boro won 2-0 yesterday,thanks xx yvonne xx
ReplyDeleteI think there's a monkey in the car (or at least an unevolved human) sometimes when I'm alone with paul and the farts don't stop a coming. I won't miss my early morning (smelly) trecks In the car to James cook. Now I'm at the hospice just around the corner I can have a lie in then trundle around the corner play them some guitar send them off to sleep then join them for a snooze in the reclining chairs. Then a home cooked three course lunch and activities like flower arranging all afternoon... am I still a little young to retire?, they're living the life. Love stella x
ReplyDeleteHi Dan, glad you are now relaxing, the animals are all sounding brilliant to see, make sure you are taking plenty of photos. Make sure you keep the car windows shut when eating your crisps! Love Mam & Dad x
ReplyDeleteHi Matthew Bainbridge. I hope you've had a great day today. Good luck with your results tomorrow. I know you will do me proud and I'm looking forward to speaking to you in the morning. Love you xxxxx
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a good time Bob. Looking forward to hearing all your stories. Love from Em xxxx
ReplyDeleteI've discovered since you changed the group's ( or appear to have done ) I can identify that Izzy is in group 3 , due to the eloquent description of " fine" .Could I be right??? Grandad spent 30 min downloading messenger on his phone so you he could reply to your message Izzy. Grandma is looking forward to sleeping at night again once you are home without been eaten by a hippo, or staying to run an animal sanctuary. I must admit I thought you may be tempted to stay and cuddle baby elephants.The deciding factor will be if they have Cadbury chocolate over there or kinder at least, I suppose. It's a good job you are getting used to sharing a bed as Tabitha has taken up residence on yours now.Enjoy the last few days and make memories until the very last minute. Love Mum and Marc xxx
ReplyDeleteYou must have some amazing photos from being so close to the animals. Hope team 3 weren't squeamish. Love Wx (Bob's Mum)
ReplyDeletePip's had a baby boy, Harrison, at 09:53 weighing 6lb 13oz. All's well.
👍"Thumbs up" sent from Anne Parkes, Jamie Watson, Ian Railton, Andrew Marlow,
I hope team 2 and 5 weren't eaten by the hungry hippos!!???.... Another great blog...it must be so exciting seeing all the animals in their natural habitat rather than behind bars and enclosures. Jack...it was such a lovely and pleasant surprise receiving your message last night. We want you to remember this wonderful experience for the rest of your life. We love you lots. See you sooooon 😀 xxx
ReplyDeleteWow! More tussles with the wildlife, monkeys this time. (Was it a little monkey? Then you could have told it off, "You little monkey!!" 🙄Sorry that was a poor attempt at humour).
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if you're in team 2 still Archie or what team 2 did. At home, I brought your bean bag downstairs and Molly-dog seems to think it is hers now. And she camouflages well on it. I think you will have to wrestle it off her when you get home. Looking forward to seeing you on Sunday , love mum,dad and Davy xx
