two post for the price of one. Sorry no pictures very slow internet :(

Day 14

On this rally we are having a number of firsts - day 14 was the most exciting. We catch a very small helicopter ( a first) and fly straight over the top of Victoria Falls ( another first) As we got into the helicopter my claustrophobia kicked in and I was just about to get out when the door was slammed shut and a split second later we were airborne. Wow! Wow! 

The photos were in a previous post, sorry about the confusion.

Some of the other competitors found a very good hand car wash, they got their cars polished inside and out including the engine bay for $5. Molly however is still covered in rally grim, mainly to hide the big dent in the front wing. But she is looking and going very well.

The best news is that Greg and Jenny have managed to find a rental 4 wheel drive and have caught up with the rally. Their Mk2 Jaguar can be repaired but will not be used again on this event. Greg and Jenny have gone all soft and got used to the comfort and air-conditioning, which with a day time temperature of 30+ is fair enough. We are just jealous.

Day15

We drive to quite a large town called Maun, here we are to experience another first. We fly in a VERY small aircraft to our lodges at Moremi Crossing deep in the Okavango Delta.

This is quite surreal as we fly low over 1000’s of acres of the marsh land type delta.

We land on a dirt runway (another first) and are then taken by small power boat to our lodge. The rooms are all separate luxury tents over looking the delta.

In the evenings we are not allowed to leave our rooms on our own, we have to be escorted to and from the main lodge. When you see the size of the elephant poo by your front door you begin to understand why.

We spend 2 days here and i could write a small book on what we saw, did and ate, raw nature at its best.

I am sorry the post are getting shorter but the days seem to be to. Its difficult getting internet and when we do we all dive on it at once.

The main thing is we are all well, and having the time of our lives. Molly is still going well and has still not to have any attention from the mechanics, long may it continue.
