Once we got there, we checked in and had a really yummy lunch (chicken and fries). Then we headed for the pool. It was so wonderful. I can't even describe how it felt to be in that pool. I was so relaxed and happy in there. It felt like heaven.
From that point on, I was so refreshed. Safari Style was everything I hoped for and more. I was really looking forward to it and I knew it would be really great. It completely met and exceeded my expectations. The rooms were amazing. We had air conditioning and flushing toilets! I even got to the point where I was shivering. Who knew that could happen in Sudan? The food was awesome. We had yummy breakfasts (eggs, bacon, sausage, toast, crepes), lunches and dinners (pork, lamb, potatoes, brownies, cheesecake). The grounds were really green and nice to hang out in. They have a few animals that walk around (a giant goat named George, a deer named Gypsy and a dik-dik named Rambo.)
We hung out by the pool quite a bit. That's where we did our white elephant gift exchange and played games.
Our gift exchange was hilarious. The rule was you couldn't spend more than 5 pounds (less than $2) on it. Poor Hannah opened Mark's gift which was a pair of his holey underwear. The underwear has a story behind it, so it was really funny. We had all kinds of random stuff. I ended up with a bag of salt. We had a lot of fun.
Our time in Safari Style was great. We laughed a lot, got a lot of rest and had a lot of fun. It was a much needed break. On Wednesday afternoon Sheena and John-Paul left and Margaret flew in. On our last day, we had the best time in the pool. We stayed in there until right before we had to leave. We made a bridge out of pool loungers and tried to see if anyone could walk on water. I haven't laughed so hard in a long time.
Now... when can we go back?
