Botswana Preview

We are currently in Port Douglas, Australia - just off the Great Barrier Reef. While we are enjoying the beautiful warm weather - we thought we'd give a preview of some photos from our amazing trip to Botswana. More photos with descriptions to follow down the road.

"Fragile Moment" -misty Botswana sunrise


The flood plains of the Okavango Delta constantly change. This area experienced an extended period of time underwater, killing the tree in this photo. The water path changed again, and now it is full of lush grass


Okavango Delta Reflection

We had a great boat ride up the Okavango Delta. We stopped for a while watching a group of lions in the grass (see photo below) - to see if they would swim across the water. The lions were patient - and we ran out of time, so we had to head back to the dock at full speed. The water was glass (Laurence asked Jennifer if she wanted to wakeboard - but she declined due to the crocks and lions). Laurence hung out over the front of the boat for this reflection picture.

Watch where you walk

One little monkey (0kay, technically a baboon), sitting in a tree....

More to come later - we promise!

A Great start folks!!
We look forward to more, and the details of the adventure, to make sure they don't differ from ours....
