Report 19 June
By Thecla
This morning we have one last look at the river but we do not see crocodiles.
Today the men drive in the T-Ford and the women in the Landrover. We are not even wondering from the campsite whether the Landrover stops and does not want to continue. The diagnosis is quickly made by Trudy, a fuel hose is shot loose and the diesel runs on the ground. Fortunately it does not take long before it is fixed and we do not lose too much fuel. A moment later the T-Ford also wants attention because it runs on three legs, but we can fix this easily by cleaning the ignition box.
We have a beautiful road and we have to go through two deep rivers. Nice to do!
We see the men discussing the T-Ford for us, a very nice face.
We still pass an airstrip where a large cow is installed in front of the post. Dirk must of course look under her tail.
Just after noon we take the exit to Butterflies Falls camp, which is beautifully situated.
We decide to stay here and the men take a refreshing dip in the water. A beautiful piece of nature where a lot of animals can be seen. Two species of kingfishers, other birds and several butterflies, a snake swimming through the water, etc. In short, a wonderful place to spend the afternoon. When we lie under the sleeping bag at night we hear all kinds of flutter above us, but unfortunately we do not know what it was after all.
