(19 June)
An early morning start, with a little something to eat in our room, and a coffee for Anna, to be at the airport at 7.30. Went through security, and waited in the tiny departure hall at the airport. We’re picked up and driven to the helicopter, and our pilot Brieul (from France). It was the first time in a helicopter for all of us, so that in itself was exciting!
During our 45 minute flight over the Okavango delta we saw many animals. Normally, at this time of the year, the delta is filled with water, the animals are then easily spotted on the little islands. Now, however, there were only waterholes here and there. Alex and our pilot spotted many animals despite the lack of water. We saw large herds of buffalo, zebras, giraffe, wildebeests running away, and many, many elephants, including a baby. In one of the waterholes hippos lay closely packed together. Their skin is very sensitive, and they need water. Now they are more or less stuck in this waterhole, since the next one is too far away.
Hej Anna, Jan och Alexander.
Önskar et er en Glad Midsommar. Det var trevligt, att få vara med och uppleva the Art Museum
Helikopterturen måste ha varit pricken över it. Att få se naturen från ovan och upptäcka alla djuren. Förstår, att Alexander tog platsen bredvid piloten,?
Att ni orkar ta in alla nya inryck varje dag Allt så spännande. Bra att ni skriver så ingående om allt ni ser och upplever. Den ena dagen är aldrig den andra lik. Värde fullt med att ha allt dokumenterat på film.
Jag tänker ringa till Maj-Britt och Åke och önska dem en Glad
Midsommar. Önskar er en ny och äventyrlig Midsommarafton.
Kram Pappa
