20 October 2019

The rain woke me up at 4:30 today. Until today we have had rain in the afternoons and evenings. Not today. And when it rains here, it doesn’t just rain. It rains in sheets. Everything I own is damp. 

I came over at 6 to go out but we are waiting a little bit. And we changed our plan. The leopard won’t be out in this rain and the area across the river really floods. We are going to hope to try that this afternoon. Instead we will stay on this side of the river and go up higher where the animals are going. They have all moved away from the river. A lot of groups are canceling this morning. We are going out in a bit provided rain slows down 

Rain slowed down at 7 and we tried to go out. The road was flooded. 

We had to turn around. People going to air strip cannot leave. The camp is fully booked tonight so I guess they will find another place for them. 

I did in my brief time out see my new thing for today.  A complete rainbow!

And the end of the rainbow! The actual end of the rainbow! Of course I took that picture with my camera and not my phone. But I captured the end of the rainbow going right into the mountain! 

Here is a picture of my tent here. 

We will try later to get out. 

Addendum to 20 October

It stopped raining this morning but six hours later the river is higher than ever. Water is coming down from the mountains. It has rough waves like the ocean and has started spilling over its banks.
