Julia and Bob are writing their blog today from the airport en route home.
We spent Monday morning walking lions for the last time of our trip, and likely the last time ever! We have resigned ourselves to the reality that once we get home we will have to settle with walking Nitro, our exceptionally stupid, but very loveable, miniature schnauzer, instead.
Bob conspired with the lion encounter program manager and convinced Julia that we would be “collecting litter” on Monday afternoon. Julia found this quite perplexing as she could not recall seeing litter anywhere. As Monday afternoon arrived it was revealed that we were going to spend the afternoon, night and morning at a nearby resort on the Zambezi River
We spent Monday afternoon sipping wine and watching baby monkeys frolicking in the trees on the resort. Monday night was spent having dinner overlooking the river, watching/listening to the nearby hippos and admiring a beautiful reddish-orange sunset.
Tuesday morning we said our goodbyes to everyone, including Baby the bushbuck who dropped by to see us off. We have begun our 31 hour journey home!

Great last post. Save the best for last. Bob, you're such a romantic. A great way to finish your two weeks of adventure and what seemed like alot of grueling tasks in 38 degree weather. Must of felt like heaven.
