On Saturday we were quite beat after our quick trip to Ghanzi and back, and so after another quick stop in town headed back to the Okavango River Lodge. Again, recognizing the clientele of an establishment such as this one, the place is very nice; the bungalows very comfortable, the kitchen good, and the outdoor seating very inviting. You can get some tiny feel for what it must be like to go out into the delta. For dinner we invited Godi’s daughter Koki, who had helped to arrange our stay here, and her and Leloba’s friend Bonty, both of whom live in Maun. Bonty is actually Bontumile Bontekanye who is, among other things, an accomplished author of children’s books which we will pick up at Botswanacraft.
We had a very enjoyable evening of bunny chow (beef curry from Durban) and drinks. It was a very nice way to end our short sojourn in Maun. We turned in early given that we had to rise early the next morning. At about 9 the music and dancing began. Mave lamented from our bungalow that they were playing all of her ‘favorite songs’ including, a speeded up Waka Waka.
