crocodile asleep on a little island in the lake and it was massive, there is no way you would be messing with that thing! We also saw and heard some hippos splashing around at the other end of the lake.

Unfortunately the staff were cheering on Man U but hey ho that’s Man U for you! As you all know the full 90 minutes was pretty boring stuff but when it mattered my boys showed what they are made of and Drogba’s goal was quite simply a gem! Of course the staff were pleased that Drogba had scored and rightly so! We were in high spirits so after dinner we joined the Aussie and American guy round the camp fire and had a great evening with them and a few beers!
