No walking for me today, instead it was spring cleaning. All the rubbish underneath the shed had to go to the tip. It was a case of getting down into the dirt, taking great care not to grab hold of any snakes that may have made the rubbish their home. The job wasn’t bad and a trip to the tip means ice-cream and momentary internet access to download emails. My plan was foiled when the iPad app decided to play up, this meant I could only see the emails on the web browser and therefore couldn’t take them back to camp with me.

In the afternoon we went for a bit of a “bumble” in the Landy to see what we could see. It was a relaxed game drive with us ending up sat on a kopje looking out over the flooded flood plain. It was such a stunning setting for a few beers, made even better when a bull elephant totally unaware of us wandered by feeding without a care in the world. The tranquility was only broken when a loan buffalo caught our scent and made a dash for the water.
