Oct. 15 - Surprise by Hippo


A long drive today from Queen Elizabeth National Park to Murchison Falls National Park.  A long, long drive – 10 hours to be exact.  Got in after dark at 7:30pm and it was pouring with rain!  Took late showers.  The rain had actually stopped as we were walking from the shower to our “banda” (cabin).  We rounded a tent to come and Andy came within two feet face to face with a startled hippo.  Not sure who was more startled but he sure made us jump when he snorted a hippo sized snort.  We provided a lot of entertainment for the people around us when we jumped and yelled in surprise.
