doggy dramas!

We decided to get a second dog to keep the other one company and to guard the house but when faced with so many cute puppies how do you choose?!!

Welcome to Max, the newest addition to the family!!

Hey ho away we go, donkey riding!

    Someone thought it would be a good idea to discover the bush by a different means of travel to usual...donkeys!!  In theory a brilliant idea, in practice none of us managed to stay on our donkeys for the entire trek. It was good fun though despite a few bumps!

.........And of course we had an audience to watch the whole saga!

Rain in the desert

I love rainstorms here, you watch them approaching and then within minutes everywhere is flooded.......................

Doesnt make for easy driving though!

The most expensive giraffes ever seen!

ok so whilst driving up north with my sister we saw a herd of wild giraffes (the last in west Africa) by the side of the road so we stopped to take some photos and got arrested for not having a guide?! after 5 hours of slightly heated talks with the forest guard who basically wanted a $900 bribe (fat chance!) we got away with a fine and a wasted day, Brilliant. Who makes up these laws, they are ridiculous!!!! the giraffes were very beautiful though.....

Not finished yet but.......(Lucie this is for you!)
