Two visits in one day, the second were Jean & Francis from Baines Lodge, that had come to ask in we new about the clients coming to meet the Elephants tomorrow? Of which we didn’t! Anyway a quick email to Doug & Sandi should fix this one.
Two, Moks & Sunny have made a good start on the children’s education area, the tents are washed and drying, although after lunch we got a heavy shower then another one about 6 o’clock
We all shared some water melon the I had kept in the freezer.. Ice cold and refreshing!
Before the trio departed on there afternoon forage, the medications were administered all was going well, they all returned safely moments before eight. All tucked up I had a chat with Leano, Dazo & Amos about the possibility of having the clients meet up with the trio, by now I had received the booking from Baines Lodge and forwarded it on.
During the night our power system failed, I cut up extra goodies for the trio should our meeting take place, butternut, apple, sweet corn and onion went into the mix, and way the clients didn’t come, that’s when the radio stopped working as it hadn’t charged through the night. But the trio had some great treats.
I managed to get Doug on the sat phone and all was explained, the booking had not reached him and we ran out of time as the clients left after lunch, they did however see the elephants the day before, I found out later.
The power is a solar powered 24V arrangement consisting of 8 batteries with an inverter and a generator for back-up, some of the battery links were lose and this compromised the system, I have re-linked all the batteries and Sunny has made stays to keep the tent window open for better cooling of the inverter etc.
Bead & peanut butter for lunch and its already 3pm.
