Looking back on previous posts and once we were once more 'on the road' I see that I have written nothing since George's remarkable surprise lunch in the garden.
We continued to have a wonderful time in the Mara with many more surprises: hail in the Mara, torrential rain in the Mara and freezing mornings - all of these weather patterns did nothing to deter our continued enjoyment at being there.
In fact the women I have been working with visited me at the camp on a beautiful afternoon - just after our lunch. We, together with Julius our fantastic go-between, had a most pleasant time sitting and trying to establish some plans for the future.
Ready for a game David and the others called me and so we prepared to leave. Seeing the torrid skies we invited the women to get onto our truck so that we could take them to the village. With rain pouring down and hail stones nipping our skins the women called a halt. Climbed off and sat under a tree which they felt gave them more protection. We beat a hasty retreat back to camp where I managed to have a hot shower and dry off. My Masai women had no such luxury.
We left in great weather, surrounded by good friends and fabulous memories for our next destination Lake Nakuru!
