The Last Leg of our Trip

Nicki here . . . Wednesday, June 4 at 1:55pm local time (7:00 in Lincoln).

Africa is beautiful. It will be hard to leave this all behind.

As you might imagine and from the previous posts you can tell that we worked very hard for 2 weeks.

The last few days have been for relaxation and enjoyment. And, it has been fabulous!

We have been on Safari - 2 days in Botswana and then most of us another 2 days in Nimibia - all at the Chobe National Park.

It is hard to imagine seeing elephants within 5 feet of us - just lumbering by. And, the Giraffes crossing the road in front of us. There was a huge herd of water buffalo and this morning we saw a battle between them and some lions.

I don't want to tell too much here - because you will all want to hear the stories first hand from each of us when we return. But, I will say, it has been fabulous. We would sit outside our rooms on our decks and look out and see the animals.

By now Sharon and Dan are on their way home. Austin has checked into a hostel for a couple of days. The rest of us are at the Ngolege lodge for a night or two.

Carolin, Nash and Chad head out tomorrow as do I (Nicki). The rest (Dorothy, Bob, Amanda, Chuck and Mary Ann) will be heading home in a couple of days.

Rotarians - be sure to book someone to speak to your club about the work we are doing here. It is a wonderful cause for some beautiful people. And, be sure to leave time to hear a little about our time on safari.

We will see you soon!
