Mon. Sept. 12th Johannesburg Africa
By Jain
On the quick flight from Livingstone to Joburg I had a nice conversation with a couple from Sweden. Well they live in Sweden half the year and St. Petersburg, Florida the other half. We swapped stories and found out he was kicked by a zebra that sent him flying into the air. I guess when the security guy that told me to beware of the Zebras, he was right. The Zebra has a very swift kick. He didn't suffer any broken bones but has a huge bruise. They are very pretty animals like so many others here…..but they are only animals.
Our plan was to make ourselves at home in the Delta lounge waiting three hours for our 16 hour flight to Atlanta. Well that was the plan. However, the Delta lounge is now closed here. Too bad; from our past experiences it was a very nice one. Now we have a three hour wait in an airport restaurant... yuk.
We both agree it has been a very good trip, however if we were to do it again we would do things differently. We would spend more time in Botswana rather than Zambia and maybe a take a flight to Tanzania into Serengeti region. This is the place where the lion is king and you might even witness the migration of lions.
Looking back we agree our best accommodation was the tented camp in Nkwazi, and that is where we had the best meals too. Overall the activities we chose were fun and we would go again. We are especially quite pleased with how many animals we have seen on our boat and game drives. Of course we didn't spot any cheetah or leopards but maybe next time.
We look forward to coming to Africa again, but for now there are lots of other places to go. We leave at the end of October for our 21 day cruise from Rome to Dubai. After this cruise Jay says we will have been to 100 countries in the world! Talking to others we have learned there are so many places we would like to go. There is whole big world out there for us to explore and enjoy, maybe you too?
