Hold on tight

This morning we woke up to see the morning raids taking place - the monkeys were getting busy raiding the bins for anything left over before most people were rousing.  

Thanks to Alex, we were up with the monkeys and I sipped my morning coffee watching these morning raids - this lady with her baby clinging on for dear life was lovely to watch, especially as the little one hopped on and off every so often.  

Today I went for a 'Safari ride' in the game park, sadly by myself as Dirk got to stay behind baby sitting.  The good news is that I can still ride and despite it being over a year (so sad), it's all still there, even if the muscles aren't.  The guide wasn't overly impressed with his client as every animal he took me to see I pipped up that we had them on the farm, I did shut up when I realised how spoilt I was sounding and enjoyed the ride.  The guide proudly told me that he had learnt to ride in the last year, which kind of showed.  We had a lovely afternoon gadding about in the park, which only made me realise quite how much I'm missing my horse riding.  Back in the saddle proper one day....
