The Dead Run Traveler

We've been going at a dead run for the last week.
We left the game park and flew back to Jo'burg on Monday. The only complication was that we flew back at 6pm. This would not be unusual save that we were asked to check out early from the lodge since they had a whole bunch of tourists dropping in for the night. So instead of a relaxing day to recollect and blog in the comfort of our room we sat in the lodges non-cooled lounge and waited until we could leave. Everything until that moment was first class and although this dull afternoon did cast a shadow, our driver - a female ranger from england named Ellen made up for the disappointing downturn. She was very jovial and jocular and made nice conversation all the way to the airport.
By the time we touched down in Jo'burg, I was exhausted and it just took too long to get back to the hotel and then we were up again and going the next day for Victoria Falls, which I would write about now but it's late and I have to catch a early flight to Durban at 8am. So it's time for some silly tablet games of world conquest and the easing into sleep for me.
Tomorrow I will bring you all up to date on the Victoria Falls Adventure while I hopefully compose this from our 4 star hotel.
and that is Mike according to life and night to you all.
