We are busy cleaning, sorting and getting the truck ready for a long rest. Meanwhile we have had a couple more wildlife moments. We've seen a beautiful chamaeleon by the swimming pool, and watched it moving in slow motion so as not to attract too much attention from the cats. B later had to rescue it from the pool, as it had fallen in and obviously wasn't up to a long swim. I'll put a photo on here when I get round to it. There's a troop of baboons living nearby and they raid the bins if no-one is around. The other day we returned to the campsite to find litter everywhere, our firelighters chewed and a colossal baboon poo on the concrete table. B chases them off with marbles fired from his catapault - that was a good tip from Angus MacN.
And that's it really. Other campers here are all either clearing out or getting sorted at the start of a trip. Next to us is a space where Zambian overland trucks and their crews do the same. B has had some interesting tips from these guys on where to source spares and how to manage the carnet. They all speak perfect English of course.
So we are now just hoping that everything runs smoothly for storing the truck, our trip home and then a happy return next year. Fingers crossed for us everyone, please. S.
