I'm still alive....

Hey everyone, I have made it safely to Gweru, Zimbabwe. 5 flights, 1 night stay with a lady in Bulawayo and a community bus right to the park...phew! Although there were many flights they all went farely easy. It only cost $25 on Air Canada to bring the box but no other charges the whole way through. I arrive today at the park and settled in. I had an orientation and a tour around the breeding grounds where I saw about 25 mature lions. Some we could even touch...not many though!! I am off soon to do my first walk with lions that are about 15 months old. I'm a little nervous but I'm sure it will be fine...I hope (keeping my fingers tucked in!!). The grounds are beautiful and I will try to post pictures shortly. it's very hot and sticky but many ways to cool off.
