Day 8
Well, today for breakfast the menu was SALTED
APPLES with rice pudding! The bag we thought was
sugar turned out to be salt. After a long morning
we started our late trek to the waterfall, which we
thought was our final destination. After an hour of
trekking we stopped for a drink and got bitten by giant
flies that the 100% DEET didn’t even get rid of.When
we arrived at the waterfall we all stripped off to our
swimming costumes and jumped in!
We were clean again.
We awoke at 5.30am and immediately burst into song
to wish Lucy a very happy birthday. By 6.30am our safari
guides had arrived to collect us ready for Day 2 of the
safari. It started with a fantastic view of the sunrise
which then was made better by seeing zebras, lions,
leopards, hippos, giraffes, elephants and many more
amazing animals. The two days spent on safari were
amazing.When we arrived back at River Valley the staff
had blown up balloons (very hard to find in Tanzania)
put up banners and made a massive chocolate cake for
Lucy.We had a great night celebrating her birthday.
