The Sunrise That Wasn't

Day 4 – November 22

Still screwed up from 23 hours of flying and 10 time zones, I woke up really early. Mike had mentioned that we should wake up for the sunse. But at 5:00am, it was far too late as the sun rises around 4:15!

So we decided to take advantage of the day and grabbed some space on a comfy sofa under a veranda back by the pool.

For the next three hours we drank coffee, we read newspapers, sat on our computers, talked, relaxed and just enjoyed the peace. We even eschewed the restaurant and had breakfast on the veranda, expertly served by Lucky – the guy we kind of adopted who served us lunch the prior day.

We were the only ones at resort, or so it seemed, as we didn’t see another guest except for two people wheeling their suitcases by. We could have easily spent another day just relaxing here but alas, Singita and our journey into the bush (South African’s don’t call it going on Safari) awaited.
