Africa was amazing. We got to see so many animals very close up -- we almost got charged by a hippo and a cape buffalo. But thankfully both decided to run away instead of come after us. I got to see a lion and her cub up close and personal as well. They had just killed and eaten from 2 impala and were too full to run away from us, so we just got to watch them until they finally moved out of our way. It was probably the highlight of my trip. That and getting to watch baby turtles hatch and crawl to the ocean. Both were pretty amazing.
I didn't end up losing any weight on the trip, despite walking 10+ miles a day. The food was great and plentiful, which I wasn't expecting. It was also almost all vegetarian which was another pleasant surprise. But it didn't help my waistline any.
We got back and were both pretty sick for a few days. We felt perfectly fine the whole trip, even the walking parts, but we get back to Switzerland and we were sick as dogs for 3 days. We kept joking that we got malaria. Who knows, maybe we did, and our Malarone killed it eventually. But we're fine now and I'm just trying to go through the 1000 pictures that we took so I can share them.
At some point in the near future I am going to have to make a decision to really do something about my size and get back to where I used to be.
Totally, my trip was just like this:
