Another rather warm day during morning and evening drives. Overcast again today so day time temps were great. We brought too many cool weather clothes. I'm using this photo as the blog photo for today.

This afternoon we all met at 2:45 after lunch and the guides took us to the Phinda Mountain Lodge. It is MUCH larger with 26 suites. This is where the Regent safari went to so we knew many from the ship staying there. Main reason to go there is that lodge had a gift shop. From there we left on our afternoon game drive.
Before lunch I took a shower as I was feeling grubby from the morning drive. This is our dip pool but seems to be a bird bath. The birds loved it.
Forgot to put this photo of my omlette at breakfast. I could not eat half of it as too much.
At lunch Rebecca had this salad.
I had the grilled hake (fish). Very good.

Some friends from the Mariner who are on Regent safari tours and staying at the Mountain Lodge.
Kudu crossing road in front of us.
Lots of hippo photos
They spend the day in the water and feed on grass at night. This pond is shallow so they can stand on bottom because they cannot swim.
Big yawn
Crocodile on bank
It's eye balling us.

Of course you know what these photos are of.

After dinner I stayed up in the lodge to work on this posting. Still did not finish it until after lunch next day. Hit the sack at 10pm as another 5:30 am wake up coming.
