Danny and I got up early for the morning Rhino search at the same park we were at the night before.
We headed back in to the park and when the guide found some fresh tracks we hit the ground and wandered until we found a mother and son.
We had much greater success in seeing lots of other animals as well throughout the adventure. Finished off with a lunch on the lake.
Dinner with friends at the other end of Gaborone at their home and two more kids to add to the fun - great evening.
Crazy sleeping night for me and I overslept and missed Eve's dance show. But got myself organized for a traditional Botswana style lunch.
And then we were off for a game ride in the nearby park. Didn't see as much as we had hoped but enough to make it a great late afternoon event.
And finished off the evening with a Chinese dinner at a local spot with the rest of the family.
Finally, arrived in Gaborone and had my own official welcoming committee - sign, flowers and all.
After a bit of a tour we settled in and kicked things off with a family bbq with chefs Danny, Maria and Liping all kicking in.
Flight left late to Chicago. Flight left late out of Chicago. Missed my connection and 24 hours in Addis. Kind of expected it based on the "plan" the airline booked but still a glitch. Started to feel like a pattern for a long bad trip...
Have to say best treatment ever by an airline anywhere in the world for a flight problem. And got some rest from the long haul flight before heading on to the final destination of Gaborone Botswana.
Back to Addis for a week next week.
They kept telling us it would be rainy and it finally was but not until almost dark. Ended up being a great sunny day at the lake - got the bike ride in before.
A full day of lake fun and celebrating Rhea turning 4 to finish things off.
