Wow, Botswana has been amazing! To be honest, the first day was a bit strange as we said goodbye to most of the people we were travelling with - they finish earlier than us on a different route. We met up with our new group on the same day in Livingstone, Zambia before we set off in to Botswana. About five minutes after meeting our new fellow travellers me and Alex looked at each other and said 'Let's get hammered'. Take from that what you will - our first impression of the new group wasn't that good and the previous group turned us in to piss artists! After a few days we realised that our new group aren't that bad really. However, there's a young Aussie singing Christian and her friend on our tour who love to sing all the time, especially when I'm reading a book (check me out reading!!!) anyway, I'd had enough one day and had to yell out "Hold on a chow Kylie, take yourself and Dannii and rack off into the back of a yute - there's only one singer on this truck and it ain't you love!" ok so I didn't say it quite like that. But as I say as the days have gone on they're ok!

On our first day in Botswana we had a game drive in Chobe National Park and I didn't realise that apparently Botswana is famous for it's Elephants - we saw thousands!! We were so close to them, they came right up to our little vans. Oh and get this - I saw a five legged elephant -I have never never felt so inadequate! But it really was good to see so many of them and the little baby elephants. Alex got a bit scared though and yelled "s***" "drive" every time one got close and flapped its ears. After that we went on a river cruise on a small twelve seater boat and watched the elephants swimming and playing in the water. That five legged one was out playing piggy back with a few. But it was funny watching the baby elephants trying to make it back up from the banks of the river.

We then drove from Chobe towards the Okovango Delta which is an inland delta swamp thing at the end of the Okovango river. We packed up our tents and sleeping bags and met up with some local Botswanans who took us in to the delta on these little 'Mokoros'. Mokoros are dug out tree trunk canoes that can take two people and a 'Poler' at the back - bit similar to Gondolas. That was amazing! we were just sat back taking in the views with water gently splashing in from side to side, there were some water channels that we could see but most of it was covered in long grass (the grass coming through the water). On the way to the island we were going to though I got covered from head to toe in ants, I was fighting a losing battle though there were hundreds of the little b******s crawling over me and I wasn't gonna jump ship. Anyway, we got to the island and set up camp and the 'polers' (local botswanan people) took us for a game walk where we saw lots of s*** and s***e literally - and people were taking pictures of day old buffalo s*** - I couldn't give a s***! so me and Alex started messing about and got told off for scaring the Zebras. We didn't see much on that walk. So we got back to camp and in the evening the polers sung and danced for us which was really entertaining, and again we all joined in and didn't stop until late it was good fun! The following day we left the island on the Mokoros and got back to our inland campsite.

Later that day we caught a flight over the delta in a plane the same size as the other one I went in over Vic Falls - only this one had seats in which was a luxury. I really enjoyed the flight over the Delta - we were flying about 500 feet above the ground looking at all the elephants and other game and Delta itself from the air - it really was good, can't describe it really.

Then yesterday really was amazing - we went for a bushman walk. The Bushmen people are a tribe that are fighting the government to try and preserve their way of life and are fighting to be allowed to live as they do and where they do - in the bush! They arrived in our campsite to collect us - and I didn't know where to look! First of all I see grandma letting it all hang out, then the daughters with their babies strapped to their backs and then two old guys wearing nowt but thongs and a bow and arrow! It was hilarious! Anyway so they took us in to the bush with an interpretter. They speak throwing their tongues to the roof of their mouths making lots of tutting noises. And they dug up roots and explained what they use them for such as headaches, stomach pain etc, and they showed us what they eat and how they live - it really was an eye opener and they were so so friendly - I hope the government allow them to live as they want. A really really great experience!

And now we're in Namibia - the place where I'm gonna do a sky dive - I am s***ting it - I'll tell you all about it later. Please all stay in touch and let me know what I'm missing back home! See you!
