Day 291

Sunday February 9, 2014

To mark our one year anniversary we

saw many more giraffes, walked to a beautiful waterfall, and to top it off had our driver pulled over by the traffic police.

We then proceeded to watch him get cuffed. Thinking that the police wanted a bribe we didn't really pay him any mind when the officer informed us that our driver had been drinking and was drunk, especially since we were with him the whole day AND he was driving us.




It didn't get real until one of the officers parked himself in our driver's seat and began driving us 15 minutes away to the local police station.

There our driver was obstinate, not aiding the officer to turn the vehicle off, and now that you mention it, his eyes were awful red.

As the police said they would they gave him a breathalyzer and lo and behold, our driver of three days and hours of road time blew three times over the legal limit. Yup. 36 is the limit, he blew a 103.6.

Somebody save me.

Now we wait. Called the tour company. They'll call us back. An hour later we call back wondering what's happening.

Two hours later we are finally picked up. It's not as comfortable as our original ride, but its ours, that is until we start picking up people.

Flat tire.

First short call (piss) on the side of the road, if you don't count the park yesterday. I nearly fell down the side of the road to the cows trying to relieve myself.

I hate transport here.

Now it's dark. We finally made it. Private to dinner. Closed.

Walk to another place. Thankfully this place was amazingly delicious. Thankfully.

Shared room with another girl tonight (thankfully I like her).

And this is how we spent our 365th day together.

We are winners.
