It has been such a good few days if not eventful.
We decided we could not leave Africa without a safari so hope you enjoyed our best shots.
As we say it was as eventful as ever, it started with Tarangire national park where Susi spotted the first animal 'the giraffe' I have never seen someone so excited. (insert pic)
Henri our driver (sadly an arsenal fan) was fab, and showed us the best spots for animal spotting!
Up and down we went over the Tarangire paralysed looking for those lions. Zebra were a plenty and Susi mathematical worked out the strategic stripes......We spotted Ostrich, Zebra, Giraffe, Water Buck, Wider Beast, Elephant, Impala and more....We apparently saw some lions in the distance although we where positive they were rocks!!! After a long day we settled down to a few beers and popcorn and eggs in the restaurant!!!
Day two started with a bang! Literally! surrounded bylocal people and baboons we tried to get the engine working again. Eventually we made it 3 miles up the road before we broke the car again.

| Oh no, It's broken again.... |
6 x 17 year old German beauties came to the rescue to give us a lift, much to Susi's disgruntlement we said 'YES'. Susi sat on the fridge enjoying the ride to the Ngorogoro Crater whilst I enjoyed the comfort of the front seat looking backwards over my Hareem!!!
The crater was good but essentially a natural zoo, so not as exciting as the first day, especially considering the cramped confines of the truck we now occupied. We did get to see everything close up, hippo's, buffalo and even lions.

We got dropped off in the nearby town to collect our driver Henri and our poor truck. By this time it was late and the poor German girls where getting tired, our truck was ready for a trial run back. 'It worked' we were on our way back. well that was until it broke again. in the middle of no where. Whilst we waited for our rescue truck we joined the Masia mara for a quick game of pool. I lost, but only on a black ball fight. We got back a lot later than expected ready to go fight for a refund the next day.
After many hours of negotiation Lee failed to get a refund so Susi stepped in as usual and adequate compromise was reached!!! Following this we had a few celebratory drink in the reggae house and I found my home in Moshi (Moshi Hockey Club).
