The Zesty Croc

 Hello all, 'Tis us again!

Today was far more eventful than our blog debut, however, it started much later at 7:30. Later that morning, we were served a lovely fry up for breakfast! 'Twas scrumdiddlyumptious!!!

After brekkie, we headed up to the local market. We were given the masterclass in the art of haggling by the legend that is Mr Horrod! We were let loose into the market and the locals did not know what hit them! There was a range of success....some conned their way to glory whilst others were completely fleeced! 

For lunch, after we stuffed our faces with snacks from Shoprite between 11am-12pm, we were treated to pancakes loaded with lemon juice and sugar!

In the afternoon, we enjoyed a 3-man shower, which involved singing, dancing and all round sensational entertainment! Unfortunately, Mr Horrod did not enjoy our performance, as we were met with spine tingling sentence..."Was that you lot making up there making that racket. there are other people in this hotel!?" 

For dinner, some of the boys dived into a delicious meal that consisted of salad, chips and............

                                                            CROCODILE!!

'Twas simply sublime!! 

Others, however, were not so adventurous and tucked into bacon burgers and chips.

Also Mr King has left the building!


For Duncan, Georgette and Lois - I hope you had a great time in France. Lots of love, Fraser.

For Mounir - I am missing my bed and Yoriyo but am enjoying the experience! Lots of love, Sami.

    Hope the croc tasted good. Dylan you'll be glad to hear your sister has been surprisingly adventurous and actually eaten octopus this holiday - on two occasions.!
    No doubt you were one that was fleeced - remember that Chelsea scarf.? Talking of which they've only gone and won another game tonight against Fulham and ended top of the table of the PL summer series.! :) Much love to you all xx

    Much better that you are eating crocodile than it being the other way around.

    Wonderful to hear of your adventures and keep up the fab blog!

    No chance of you going vegetarian George D? Food looks epic - George I thought you said you'd be hungry? Now that you and Ciara are TV stars, not sure you'll be mixing with us mere mortals over here! (Still raining in Cornwall....not sure you will want to come back?.)

Farewell Zimbabwe!

This morning I woke up at 6:30 thanks to Bens amazing wake up calls. I had scrambled egg sandwiches and jam on toast. After breakfast we went to the school I was coaching at and held a tournament for all the schools that we have been coaching. We got there and set up the pitches. Sami and I taught the kids the Haka. I refereed some of the games on my pitch, however  I may have missed a couple of offsides. None of the teams from my school made it to the final the tournament was very competitive! Cassie's team won and were very happy! There were a few tears from the team that came second! After the tournament we went to the camp we were staying in and packed up quickly then had lunch for the last time in Zimbabwe.  We said our goodbyes and headed to the border back into Zambia. We had to walk across the border and got to see Victoria Falls. Then once we were past border force, we made our way to Fawlty Towers Hotel and went to our rooms to unpack. We are staying in dorm with bun...

 Good evening ladies and gentlemen!! Today we present to you the 2nd to last blog of Zambia, so we are expecting plenty of comments (cough cough, the Donaldson's, you have been very quiet!!) We started off with a late breakfast...it was supposed to be at 7:30 but was served at 8:20! All the boys had a lazy sleep in because Ben, their alarm, ignored his own alarm and did not wake them up! At 10am we set of for our big trip to Vicky Falls, it was nice and moist...! We got up close and personal with the baboons! We began by hiking down to the Boiling Pot which was a torturous hike through the baboon ridden jungle up and over rocks and through streams! It was all worth it as we were treated to stunning views of the bottom of the falls!! After we hiked back up through the baboon ridden jungle we crossed the Knife-Edge Bridge and broke into uncontrollable laughter as Amelie stacked it on the bridge which we caught from multiple camera angles!! Once we stopped laughing we were treated to ...
