Kruger Day 10 - Time to leave

Time to leave. It reminded me of the moment I had to leave Kuwait a year or so ago, gazing out the window trying to bottle the moment. It felt the same here. Why couldn't life be like this everyday? Then the guilt of feeling this way - getting the sense of the opportunity and privilege that we have to travel to these incredible places. The freedom to fly.

The drive to the airport felt long, because it was - over five hours - but a stop at what could be the greatest service station still makes me smile.

Yes indeed - there were 13 rhinos here - albeit in captivity but was grateful for the last throes of seeing these wonderful animals regardless of their provenance.

Apart from earlier finding out that British Airways had cancelled our flight back to the UK but being quick enough to secure a couple of the last remaining seats on the Virgin flight at the same time averting a potential inconvenience - the trip was the stuff of dreams. Two years in a row is indulgent - but it doesn't seem enough. Missing it already.
