So, after waking up without an alarm we dressed and showered leisurely before heading up the path to breakfast. We get to chose breakfast each day, and today I chose bacon and poached eggs, as did Dan, and fresh fruit if available. The cooked breakfast was divine, and we had made a cup of tea and coffee to go with it, and we're given a small glass of juice. I took one of the extra pieces of toast and the banana I was given, to have for lunch later on.
Today was our designated day where we were honestly not going to do a single thing, and we did just that!!! It was beautifully hot outside so it felt really luxurious to sit on the couches under the fan inside and watch tv. I had found a whole marathon of the program Say Yes to the Dress, a wedding dress program where people find their dream dresses, followed on the bridesmaid version, which I thoroughly enjoyed watching. Dan even enjoyed the bridesmaid version because of all of the ridiculous angst and tension it causes between all the women, it's great to watch.
After my marathon we put come dine with me on, and I read a book on the kindle. At one point when Dan and I went to sit outside we were really surprised and pleased to see a tiny baby mongoose run out in front of us, as well at two warthog drinking at the dam and a heard of eland walking away from the dam. The farm is quite large, 20 000 acres, and they have a fair number of animals on the farm but they are not yet very used to humans. It is unusual to spot game during the day as they tend to come out to the dam at sunset and through the night.
June and Clive had had their dinner earlier than us, and so did not join us for dinner tonight. We sat outside on the verandah and enjoyed the cool night air whilst eating our three course dinner. Dinner was a deliciois devilled egg for starters, an amazing beef cottage pie that I could have kept eating till I popped, and a jelly and custard dessert. The view from the verandah is amazing, it is high up and has a gorgeous view of the dam. The sunsets are just gorgeous and set just opposite where we sit. That evening we were graced with the presence of a heard of zebra who are notoriously shy and don't come out very often. We also saw a heard of wildebeest, who make a low mooing sort of sound and are very very loud! :) After dinner we finished our drinks whilst game watching and then walked back along the path to the house to sleep.
Are photos just to hard to embed in the posts with the sketchy internet?
