We awoke to enraged calves yelling for their mums, followed by roosters, snoring etc. We were quite ready to get up by breakfast time.
At 10 we went for a shopping trip into town and were stunned by the beauty of the scenery on the way, with large lakes beside the road showing perfect reflections of the mountains on the far side. Not a ripple on the surface. We chose the best spot and rang for a wee stop. Luckily I had the small camera and was able to take some snaps and video. On the way back, some wind had arisen and the surface was rippled – no reflections!
Just as well we stopped on the way there. Found inspiration to write another two verses of my song about Sam and Shrek (Colin). Might just perform it publicly tonight after dinner.

A lot of the group have gone white water rafting. (C) Wandered down the road to watch them go past but it was too far so came back to finish 3 days blogging. The 3 little pigs wandered off down the road with the spectators.

Chris & the 3 little pigs
J went to the vantage point about 1 km from the farm. We sat waiting on rocks at the bottom of one of the biggest rapids on this stretch of the river. Watched a couple of kayakers then shortly after our two raft loads went through, huge smiles and daredevil Colin flinging himself off into the water – just because.
The farm has a dear little orphaned calf called Sophie, she is about 4 weeks old. A beautifully natured border collie who loves being cuddled, chooks and chickens and a few ‘sort of’ friendly pigs.
Yvonne & the dog
A lovely place to stay and definitely a place on earth we would encourage people to come and visit. C did the Botswana song and his version of the Oasis 2012 song, which was well received.
