Home

I never did finish up the last entry to our trip blog. We left Namibia and flew to Johannesburg. We spent the night at the airport hotel (our third stay there this trip!) and had a free day. We decided to visit a local game reserve to see if we could see some animals we did not see on our earlier safaris. We saw some "zoo animals" (what I call animals that although are not in cages are fed rather than fending for themselves) and some "wild animals" (animals that although are confined feed on their own and are not fed.) We paid the 30 rand ($3) each to pet the baby lions and had a nice visit. Then back into the airport, some quick shopping and then on the long Delta flight to ATL, then on to SLC. Jordan and family and some friends of John met us at the airport.

Our trip to Africa is over.
