Back in Botswana

Hello all!
Well we are back in good ol' Botswana, nice and safe. We spent all of yesterday taking in the sights and mainly sounds of a night in the Okavango Delta. The Delta is a large inland swamp esentially, the water has travelled all the way from Angola in the North and it's stilll arriving daily to surround the reeds in water. Travelling through the delta is quite an experience in itself as the local polers load you up in their tiny little dugout canoe esentially and pole you through the hippo infested waters to your camp site, ours was an island around 1 hours ride into the delta. The Makoros sit so low in the water it is a very disturbing experience. Simon and I were glad to get an artificial one as it didn't leek like the wooden dugouts.
This morning we got up early for a game walk hopefully to see elephants and giraffes, (no one wants to see a predator by foot!).
Fortunately we managed to see wild dogs a little too close, as in they passed behind us by around 10 meters or so. I wasn't too happy with that as the look on our guides face when we told him scared me more than seeing the dogs!
Tomorrow is our last night in Botswana before we head into Namibia, can't wait!
