Coffee at 7 and breakfast at 8:15.
The three of us departed this beautiful lodge, Little Galdessa, at 10:15am in a 208 Cessna caravan for a 1 1/2 hour flight to Mogwooni Homestead, where Claire lives with her husband, Rod. Staying in someone else’s home is a different experience than being alone in a hotel room. At 5pm the four of us gathered at their bowling green for a game of Lawn Bowling. It was a fun new experience for Mark and me.
Later we joined Claire and Rod for what she called a light supper. It consisted of hot tomato and basil soup, various cheeses, toasted bread, a large vegetable salad and wine. The conversation was lively, but we were tired, skipped dessert and went to bed early.
Rod told us about his experience in the rose business in Kenya. Where they live is the perfect location as it is on the equator where there is only one season and one time zone all year long that happens to be perfect for roses. He has 30 hectares under cultivation. Grows 12 varieties and sells them all to Holland, except what we saw in every room in his house.

I
From Lake Alice we slowly flew back to Mogwooni with several sightings of animals: elephant, eland, zebra, impala, buffalo and goats. Our photos were not good, so not here.
Arriving back at Mogwooni Homstead, we had dinner and went to bed early.
