Amazulu Lodge Saint Lucia

... s larking about and the giggly feeling of being on a school trip.
And I just remembered, a boat cruise, near St. Lucia, I've got to look it up. Hippo's and crocodiles it was. I'm racking my brains but I can't come up with much. Hippos were fine, not very exciting, the crocs a lazy lot.
Something funny did happen though. I felt a small pull at my hair and looked back to see a black lady, smiling apologetically, arranging some strands of it on her ...

... in the group thought dinner was included and were shocked when they learned how much they had to pay. The restaurant had such delicious food and we even saw 5 zebra grazing on the grasses just outside the window.

I would rate the following:

Crocodile Centre = A- (definitely worthwhile; great photo opportunities; just a little too easy to spot the crocs; would love to see them that close in the wild)

Dumazulu = A- (mostly ...

... off. about an hour later, about 5pm, she statred to stretch. do a big yawn, then sloooowly get up. She slowly walked into the bush, but towards the road infront of us. we drove around the corner, and there she was. Ignorant of us, she crossed the road, and disapeared into the bush.

Next morning we went to a lookout, and saw hyena's divouring the remains of a kill. 100's of vultures milling around, waiting for the hyenas to bugger ...

... to go on a kayaking trip. The kayaking trip was memorable for two reasons, firstly as it is home to hippos, crocodiles and Zambezi/Bull sharks and secondly, because I ended up sharing the kayak with a wierdo who tried to get the hippos to come closer by mimicking their sounds. I was so embarrassed but with no escape due to the afore-mentioned top-of-apex predators had to endure it in front of the local ...

... me. We were in an open sided jeep. Our driver was a local man, Russell. It wasn't long (about a few minutes down the road) that Russell spotted some animals. To the side of the road we saw some wildebeest and a deer like animal. We went crazy with the cameras, there were four of us with the same SLR camera, all that could be heard was the sound of the cameras focusing.

... corrupt, and demanded that we paid fees that we knew were not necessary. Tom plainly refused, and they did all they could to give us troubles, trying to take our boats papers, and passports. They were really quite aggressive. Tom is a hard ass, and super good at dealing with this type of official, and flat out refused to give them anything at all, kicked them off the boat and told them to their face that he does not tolerate corruption!!! We then immediately picked up anchor and ...

... sure that my bags were always locked up, even though there was no food in them. I got up at 6.30am for the first dive at 8am. The beach is a 20minute drive from the complex so everyone gets onto a trailer which is pulled by a tractor to the beach 45minutes before the dive. The sea was pretty rough, but once we were under water it wasn't so bad, and it was amazingly warm (around 24degrees). This was my first sea dive and it was ...

... should be noted Steven was welcomed into the exclusive airport lounge, while Cori was barred admittance), we flew to Johannesburg, South Africa, spending a weird and short night at the house of an Algerian immigrant who ran a local B&B. From there, we flew to Richard's Bay, South Africa, on the south-eastern coast of that country, rented a car, and headed north along the coast toward Mozambique, which was our ultimate destination. We had ...

... the boat captains know a lot of them by name. One of this pair is estimated to be between 60 to 80 years old and is just over 6 metres in length! It was an awesome sight. We got really close in the boat, but were told not to lean out of it at all. There were a couple of people sitting on a wooden observation deck on the shore just feet away from the crocidiles, it is placed high enough up so that they can't jump at ...

... famille (au sens large) vit de manière plutôt traditionnelle (si ce n'est qu'il y a l'électricité dans les huttes). Toujours de bonne humeur, notre guide improvisé nous fait entrer dans une hutte (dont le sol est lissé avec de la bouse de vache), et nous raconte en rigolant comment les hommes doivent s'y prendre pour draguer les filles et se les marier. C'est compliqué, genre il doit la tchatcher pendant 3 mois pour la convaincre, l'enfermer dans sa ...
