Joel & Eli loved every minute of it as it was a very safe place for them to be (as long as they stayed away from the river, which they did). Joel had a few plans of his own, hte main one being that he wanted to tell some ghost stories around the boma once it had gone dark. He told two great stories followed by Eli telling a non-scary story. We were also able to do some satelite spotting and saw two very clearly.
On Saturday we spent the whole day sat around the boma keeping the fire burning. We suspect that they've never used as much wood before in a single 24hour stretch. Dean really enjoyed teaching his boys about fire and hopefully instilling a healthy respect for it. Paula enjoyed much coffee and reading her book.
Put your hands up!
Breakfast at the boma
Almost time for scary stories
The night sky as seen with no light pollution. Taken with a 30 sec exposure. Can you spot the Southern Cross?
Very good. It's nice to think about other people seeing the same stars as we do.
ReplyDeleteSitting round the boma brings back memories of safari in Zimbabwe. Glad you all had a great time!
