Julie felt I should share this . . . .
Note the series of pictures. I decided after a couple of days at Pezulu that perhaps people could see us changing as they walked past on one of the dirt roads behind us so I decided to roll down the blind. I untied the string and let the blind drop. What happened next was chaos and pandemonium . . . . (Lana, you will relate to this, it was a true Jurassic Park moment). As the blind quickly unraveled a body fell out of it and splatted on the floor directly at my feet. I have cat-like reflexes that kicked in at that precise moment, however people with cat-like reflexes should always check their surrounding first. My reflexes kicked in, I let out a scream and turned to run, not realizing just how close the tree branch was. I came to a sudden stop and also nearly landed on the floor right beside the stupid lizard! I negotiated the tree after the initial collision and ran to see Julie. At this point I realized the absurdity of it all and was laughing hysterically (overload of adrenaline). I did my best to paint the whole picture for Julie and must have been fairly successful because she peed a little . . . . . the joys of the African bush!
