Hi Bab-seems ages since we blogged you so here goes.Great to read your last blog,cant believe its only been 3 weeks and you have done so many fab things,so jealous that you have seen and been so close to all those wild animals,really is a once in a life time experience.

Keep in touch when its convienient ,love you loads Mom and Dad xxxxxxx

Hi nic - just read ur latest blog - sounds amazing already. so proud of you for dealing with the spiders - you deserve a medal ! Wjite water rafting sounds like a great experience - hungover or otherwise - wish we were there not here - Guess u've heard about the snow you've avoided. Anyhow look forward to some pics soon and try not to get sunburn on top of peeling burn cos that will really hurt ! Love for now jules xxxx

Howdy Hon!

Just read your latest blog, sounds like your a busy busy bee! The white water rafting sounds like fun, bet that certainly worked up the appetite for a bevvy or 2! Very proud of you for sleeping with the spiders again, i'll be calling you to catch my spiders when you get home. We're all missing you but so glad that you're having an amazing time. Take care, love you, miss you.xx

Hiya Nic. We're very jealous of what sounds like a fantastic trip already - and you've still got ages lest ! We'll have to set aside a whole day (at least!) to see all the photos! We know you'll have a fab time, enjoy every minute and do everything you get the chance to do. Snow in Hereford is pretty bad, bet you're not sorry to be missing that. Looks pretty though. Glad I don't have to worry about getting to work though. Joni a bit small to build a snowman yet. Next time we get this much snow she'll probably be 16 ! Anyway, take care and have fun. Look forward to seeing some photos on here soon.

Lots of love

Helen, Vince and Joni xx

Hello from snowy Stourbridge! Really enjoying reading your blog hun, sounds like you're having an amazing time, am very envious that you've seen a giraffe so close up (perhaps I can build a snow one if the weather continues here!) Please post some photos on your site when you can.

Lots of love

Anna and Nigel xx

Hey Nic. You are alot braver than I am mate. I think i would have gone without a shower rather than share it with huge spiders. All sounds fab, cant believe you have seen all of the big 5. Have fun love maria x x x

Hey Nic. One word WOW!

Looking forward to seeing some photos. Hope the 5 tops you took was enough - imagine there aren't that many shops where you are at the moment. Was it 5 tops cos of the big 5? - Very clever Nicola!!!Take care Kate xxx
