Day 4: Shoebill Island

DAY 4: SHOEBILL ISLAND (Thurs 16 June)

We originally planned to leave today but decided to rest for 1 extra day here after the arduous trip.  This morning we took a walk around the island, mostly bird-watching.  Heinrich, David, Phil, and Marjanne were especially keen but Anel and Elijah were heavy and unsettled so Jacomien and I returned to camp after 45 minutes.  We made an early dinner (spaghetti) to facilitate easier packing later.  The afternoon was relaxing with a welcome chance for a siesta.  In the evening we all tried to get as much packed ahead of time as possible so that we could get an early start in the morning.  In all, it was a quiet, uneventful day – just what we all needed to finish recovering so that we would be ready for more driving the next day!
