Botswana, Gweta, 23/5/13

Chase's birthday today. Managed to talk to him on the cell. Loved our singing.
Journey is winding down now. Last few stops are just stop overs to facilitate the trip home.
Island Safari has gone down in our estimation. Very seedy & noisy. After having blissful evenings listening to owls, frogs and hippos, we had loud music, traffic, dogs and cows.
Trip here uneventful. The contrast between overgrazed, barren rural communities to the lush conservancy areas is remarkable. Couple of raptor sightings en route plus giraffe.
Gweta Lodge is unchanged. Friendly staff/owners and pleasant lodge surroundings. P140
Spent the evening at the lodge pub - power outages are common for roughly 3 to 4 hours per evening. Thought it was only in SA. Ended up chatting to Darren Brady regarding his rather varied life choices. Quite interesting.
