We had been going to watch the cattle being dipped but at 7.30 got a message that it would not happen today. As we were up and dressed, we went for a walk on the farm under cloudy and drizzly skies. It was lovely to walk for an hour or so in the countryside, absolutely undisturbed. A farm truck drove by once; Rick also came by and just checked that we were OK. We saw a gorgeously iridescent beetle, also one or two yellow mongoose, plus a number of birds (many LBJs). The red-collared widowbirds are lekking and this was really nice to see on foot; the males making short flights with their wispy long tails streaming out and the females following after their favourites. We saw stonechats, a black-shouldered kite and a number of common waxbill.
For lunch we made egg and bacon etc. Fresh passion fruits for dessert. We decided to stay here until Easter Monday so as to avoid carpark camping or other less-than-ideal locations during that long weekend. It’s rather a long time to be in one place but as it’s so peaceful and lovely it feels like the best solution.
Went to the bar to use the internet but someone else had used up all the wifi allowance, so I looked at our photos while B read the Zambia guidebook. Bought some veg from the kitchen.
