First, to set the scene on the homefront:We shared one little bungalow intended to sleep three; we were five, so Ian slept in his cool sleeping bag on his Thermarest pad and Theo slept (as is his nightly norm) in his carseat. It worked out great, especially since we had been anticipating a bungalow that slept only two! We stayed 5 nights in Kruger, so got to really "settle in" to this little home.
On our porch we had a little kitchenette with fridge, 2-burner electric stove, a sink with hot and cold water, and the basic utensils, dishes, and pots for "self-catering". We did breakfast at home every day, but generally ate out our other meals as we'd had limited space for carrying food in our car on the way to Kruger. Plus that way we got to try out various yummies offered by the park.
We also used the front porch to hang our little laundry bits (during the day when everyone else was out on game drives so they didn't have to look at it) - mostly Theo's washable flannel wipes. Ian also washed his stuffed animal collection while we were here - you can see tigger, snowman, beluga, butterfly, and hippo all hanging on the line to dry. It was a fun project.
Next post will be the more interesting bits about our daily drives in the park, including a rundown of the animals we saw. A preview: we managed the Big Five!
