Wake up time for us was 3:00 am to catch the 3:30 am-3 hour transport to Durban. The lodge receptionist did ask Julie why did we book such an early flight…and since we did zero research regarding the locations of where we are, she had no real good comment back to the dude…oh well (I actually said my plutonic friend booked it and had no idea we were 3 hours from the airport)
Off to Joburg again to catch a 1 1/2 hour flight to Livingstone, Zambia. I have to admit, at this point I was a little nervous…not really sure where we are going and booked no transport from the airport to the hotel…I just assumed we would be able to get a taxi…and everyone knows how I love to be taken advantage of by taxi drivers. I was panicking and trying to get Amex on the phone to coordinate this for us but we ran out of time…
Landed at the airport and I noticed that Jules was getting a little quite…after her yellow-fevor shots…I think she was really wondering what I got her into but it all worked out better than both of us expected! Why should I have doubted myself…we booked the most expensive hotel in the country…of course it was awesome…lol!!!
The first day the weather was a little overcast and a rain/wind storm came through, but after that it was great. Below are pics of the resort and who knew we did not need to go on safari…zebras, monkeys and giraffes were right on the premises.
Sunsets are a big thing here…hanging out on the sun deck and watching the sungo down…so here a a few of the billion shots that I took. Yes, I know that we have all taken sunset shots…blah…blah…blah…but let’s admit thatlthese are pretty cool since they are from Zambia and with zebras in the foreground.
