Welcome to Livingstone

It took 7 hours to get to Livingstone.  The last bit was very very bumpy. There were BIG potholes and we had to drive on the side of the road which was bumpy too and it was sand.      When we got to Livingstone it was very fun because there were monkeys and zebras and giraffes (but this trip we didn't get to see the giraffes).  We saw guinea fowl.  Nana saw a monitor lizard.  We saw them all at the Zambezi Sun - it is a hotel IN the Mosi-y-tunia national park.

  The specialest thing we saw was Victoria Falls.  In the rainy season there is lots of water but in the summer there is not a lot of water.  It is summer here right now.  In Livingstone it was one hundred degrees.

  Me and Papa and Finny went for a walk one morning.  Finny wanted to use my camera so I let him take pictures.  There was a vervet monkey on the path and me and Papa were looking at some guinea fowl and the monkey walked behind us and Finny took a picture of it!

   We also all went for a sunset cruise.  It was on the Zambezi River, above the Falls.  The boat was called the Lady Livingstone.  The boat had three motors; Finny had to go see the motors because he is three!  On the boat we saw elephants crossing the river and elephants on the shore, buffalo, impala, lots of birds, hippos and at the end when we were going back to the dock I saw a crocodile in the wake.

Welcome Back!

A lot has happened since I last wrote on my blog:

• School started.  Now my teacher is Mrs Anderson and I am in Year 2 - we are already at our half-term holiday.  
• I had my birthday - I got walkie talkies and a BMX ramp!
  
• Finny had a birthday - Nana was here for Finny's birthday!
  
• We moved houses!  We used to be at 24 but now we are at 23B - it used to be our friend Dayo's house.
  
• ALL the grandparents arrived!
  
• We have been to Livingstone TWICE.
  
• I am going underwater and swimming without a life jacket or anything (except goggles)
