we are in Queen Elizabeth using the computers at the very swish Myewa Resort - our accomodations on the other hand is a flat piece of ground 6 km down the road overlooking the Myewa Channel - gorgeous scenery but the facilities aren't quite so falsh!
we have had a ripper of a morning, already seeing elephants, buffalo, hippos, kob, warthogs, antelope, a giant goanna (this was at our camp site) and plenty of birds. on the drive here from Kamapala we also passed a herd of about 30 zebra off the side of the road. I wish we could upload some photos for you from here so you could just see how amazing this is but did not plan ahead to have the camera with us and we have signed up only for 30 minutes each because internet use costs a bomb here.
this morning we got up early and were out in Brad by 6:30. the first big animals we saw were a herd of elephants and they had the most amazing african sunrise as thier backdrop - it is impossible to explian how gorgeous it is here - Dad you have to come, Suze and I keep commenting on how much you would love it. the park is enormous and surrounded almost entirely by mountains - so in the mornings and in the evenings the sky puts on a show of lights, colours and shadows that I have never seen anywhere else. simply breathtaking.
I had better stop so I can post this before the internet time runs out - love to you all, we will post photos for you of just how stunning this is next week if not sooner - L

Dear girls... what a surprise to find this last entry when I got onto the computer to show Aunty Jean the blog! We thought that you'd probably be 'incommunicato' for a few days so I hadn't bothered to reply to your last entry just yet.
We are very relieved to hear that all is going well and that you are having such a sensational time there at Queen Elizabeth. We are also relieved that you are there, rather than Murchison Falls. The rebels and the peace talks acually rated a mention on the ABC news this morning, so please be careful.
We can't wait to see your photos girls. What we've seen so far have been wonderful. I think I'll get off this and send you a proper letter via email. There's so much to chat about that will just be a bore for other people.
Keep on blogging.
Mum
