Helen's stay at base safari
While D was being tortured on another bone jarring jeep, I stayed at base. Thunder storm was loud and with torrential rain until mid afternoon. So no lazing by the pool. No great hardship as relaxing in the room watching the weather was entertainment enough for me today. Getting tired...
Got a bit worried as D due back at 10. Didn't arrive until 11.30...Tusker blocking the road was the excuse. After hearing all about his adventure we had lunch then while D went back to rest...and boar watch. .I walked through the grounds to the deserted beach. Lovely sand with crashing waves onto rounded rocks. Pouring with rain but even on a calm day it's not safe to swim here. A couple of the hotel dogs followed me down. Wild and wonderful despite the weather.
Back at the chalet the banging on the tin roof gave us a fright...Grey Langer monkeys messing about. Those footprints I spotted this morning were from the boar. Buffalo, crocs and birds close by on the water. I didn’t need to go anywhere to see plenty of wildlife. Looks as if those danger signs are genuine after all.
Rooftop bar gave a great view tonight of the waterhole and sea...with monkeys playing on the balcony.
Tomorrow we go to our final hotel near Mirissa. Hoping for some relaxation after our busy schedule but forecast is not great. There is still plenty to see there if sunbathing is rained off.
