Thanks for sorting the water, Deli! lol



Last episode... :shock:




Only a couple of us went on the short evening drive...the "heat" had gotten to some more crewmembers... :O^


BL: "My lord and admiral! Go forth and godspee..." (Thunk)
Dest.: "Ooh! what a pretty bed! Come here you gorgeous...(Thunk)
Frew: "Nothing against you fellows, but I had a wonderful day recuperating here in camp, and am fine. And would like to keep it that way!
Dw: "Good idea to sleep! I are just getting my steradent out of the car, and...Why is you driving now?"




So Dwarf and I sallied forth!












Image




It was quite late, the sun sets fast, mercifully! Down to Kanniedood hide, which was sort of still broken-ish? O-/



A difficult pic! :shock:







Image





Dw: "Shteenbok!"

Us older two realise it's better to try and stay awake, if you go for a late nap, you wake up feeling like death just before supper? -O-


An unusual view! The thing was rearranging an plucking feathers and what not.... O-/








Image








And near the hide, our only lion of the trip! O/\









Image






Not exactly hyperactive?


Lion: "Oh, this idiot again...no point in killing him...an eye should scare him away... :O^ "









Image





RP: "Eeek!BacktocampNOW!!!!!"
Dw: "But we need more witty narration about Scar Wars!"
RP: "Err,thatlioniscalledScar!Go!"







A peaceful sunset, but that road back to camp is also a bit of a dusty highway during holidays... -O-








Image





These failed Tattooinian egg-grenades just outside camp, confiscated from section Ranger leachy from Pafuri by Col. Schwarz in years gone by...you'll have to read those reports... :-0






Image







As expected, back at camp the rest of the crew were reviving, but we had a rare old bash to celebrate a great trip, in the end! :twisted:









Image




And the next day it rained! Back home chop chop, with all medically unfit, so to speak... :-0









Image




Thanks for all comments and suggestions, Dimwits will return shortly in 2015 trip! X#X

Perfect ending to a perfect (or is it?) trip... Nice colours at sunset, a shy shteenbok, a scary lion, the fish eagle - well done :-0

Did you have to cover one eye of the driver the next morning, or wasn't it that bad? lol

Cracking report and finishing off with a Sharpe's, a leo & a fish eagle. O/\

Looking forward to the next one.

I'd better leave you with a quote I suppose.....

Thanks Richprins,

as always a very special report but always so entertaining - That fish eagle shot is funny and Mr. Lion was in fact not impressed at all ^Q^
