As we launched our boat, I placed my small human footprint in the squishy mud next to a huge elephant print, and the slightly smaller indentation of a hippo, before wading bravely into the shallow water to release the boat from its trailer - all the while under the critical observation of a gang of small boys.

The day on the boat was pure heaven... I will just let a few photos tell the tale, again.
An amazing feeling of freedom!

The sunset was so exquisite,I could not stop photographing it..
This last picture was taken just before we took the boat out of the water. More wading in purple tinted shallow, sun-heated water.. Just beautiful!
