Day 257 Tanzania 17/07/2011, Meserani Snake Park. Too many beers = Another day of rest!

I blame Thiemo and Thiemo's wife Debs blames me. Either way we had quite a lot of beers, so this mornings moving on didn't happen! Fortunately the hangovers weren't too brutal so we got up and joined a group of American teenagers, who are on summer camp, on their trip to a Masai village with Ali their English guide. The kids were hilarious, especially when they got dressed up in Masai outfits for the walk to the village.

To show that Debs was suffering from hangover induced vagueness, she managed to not bring any water with her on the walk. We had my bottle but it wasn't really enough, especially when you are dehydrated from the night before.

The village trip turned out to be great with some Masai men doing a war dance (?) for the kids, which they joined in with.

The local kids performed some songs that they had learned and the American kids then taught them a sort of line dancing R&B song, the Cuban shuffle. It has been worth staying the extra day just for the experience.

I have sworn to a three beer limit tonight, so we are definitely moving on tomorrow!
