A black mamba scuttled out in front of us today. Heat after a lot of rain.
Thankfully it vanished after a bit of a stare…
Lots of baby impala, monkeys, and even warthogs.

These pusscats are both scary amd beautiful! 
They were at it hammer and tong for at least 15 seconds. Slightly embarrassing that it’s all on video.
They are wild, but clearly very ok with us around as they are well stocked with food options on the reserve, and managed to a degree. Fascinating to get close.
The land owners have a quarantine pen for buffalo (TB and F&M issues), but their initial cost makes them a dilemma to add to the park as it’s expensive lion food.
Several eagle varieties and rare birds today. Incredible things when they take off in front of you.

That’s not an elephant

That’s the leopard that was a chance sighting that lead to a bit of a rush to get to the area. Trackers had been looking for a week (it’s not subject to and locating devices) and managed to get is a walk by.
The elephants were incredible. Destroying trees and ripping bark off as they rolled through a dense bush area. The main bull was beyond massive.
It is stinking hot today and a snake appeared between our sun loungers looking at me from 30cm away. Eye to eye. It moved a foot and was attacked by a bird in front of us. We think it’s a spotted bush snake but I have never been so still in my life as it sat there.

Planning a few days in Belgium. Arrive on Saturday, go down to see friends in Antwerp on Sunday, Einstürzende Neubauten gig on Monday, trip to Ghent on Tuesday, return Wednesday.
I’d scoped out the hotel yesterday but the wife was busy so I didn’t get around to confirming things. Refreshed the page today and the price had gone down £50. A further £35 off with points (I stayed with Accor a reasonable amount earlier in the year).
I’ll take that

Procrastination rules!
Staying in a cottage very near Matlock / Lumsdale waterfall if anyone is close or passing. Very loose schedule but shout if you could be near.
Mainly dog walks and lounging for a week… planning some moderate circulars and trips to nearby things /walks. Bakewell chazzers and record store will be on the list.
The Gate at Tansley is a bit popular.
It’s like a football ground in the car park! Sunday lunch looks amazing.
Two of four or five “60th tour” trips / activities now booked.
This is too easy, I smell a rat

We have booked a Airbnb in pompei at the start of April for 6 days.
Any suggestions on visiting the sites and other things to do in the area?
We do intend on going to Herculaneum and Sorrento on day trips.
