A very wet day at Babs Dock

Today Sally & I went with the kids to Babs Dock as part of the Summer Program. The motor boat that takes us to the dock broke down after its second trip leaving 9 adults stranded in the car park, so four of us walked across the lake (like the locals) just as rain set in for the day. A couple of canoes carried the remaining 5 through the mangroves and across the lake - photo below is of Mrs Peet and Mrs Aldum arriving in the rain....

And boy oh boy, did it rain! It didn't stop from 11am until 7pm. But that didn't stop the kids from enjoying themselves - photo below of Libby playing in the sand, in the rain...

And Ann below looking cold and miserable...

The motor boat was fixed early afternoon, so we were able to return to our vehicles without having to swim. But we were all soaked and cold (what, in Africa?) by the time we got back to the ship. I've never been so happy to climb into a hot shower! Olly
