Nakaru National Park (second trip)

so my first port of call (if not in practice but definitely importance wise) was to go check in with the Venters and see how they were fairing after the escapades of last month's "visitors". I was glad to see that both Lydia and Wilco's wounds have healed very well with tremendous speed, and that adequate security has been put in place to pre-empt any follow up attacks. the house now proudly sports heavy metal doors, a new alarm system and there is also a night watchman (so yes mum i was highly safe there!).
the whole family has been though so much, i really wanted to create a fun day for them, so i manned the wheel of the car and mobilised the kids for a very unforgettable trip to the game park (not without first dropping Lydia and Wilco in town to spend a kid-free day together) so off we lurched in the vehicle (not a small one) in the direction of the park. there was saw all manner of animals, but most amusing for my park was the look on Timothy's face as a monkey CLIMBED INTO THE CAR and starked making a feast of our chocolaty treats kindly purchased by Lydia. Luckily for all involved (not the monkey though) i was able to snatch back the box with minimal damages to said snacks.
the national park has many paths, but you can also go off onto the grass, turning in the road was somewhat hard and ended up in more than one ditch.
we really do have to thank god for our lives though, i tell you my heart was in my mouth as i navigated our way around some of the routs. there was a view point to which one must drive up an incredibly steep incline with your foot as hard down as it could go. the thing that was really going through my mind, apart from the fact that we could have slipped backwards off the cliff, was the fact that i would have to navigate DOWN after the nice view! geezze i have no bones about declaring that i was proud of myself for that.
until we realised back in town that the turnbar (i think its called that...) under the car had broken. GREAT. or the following day when in turned out that THE OTHER TURNBAR was ALSO broken! fab driving eh. Timothy came to me today and said, "Bee please i don't want you to drive us, you are a crazy driver". but i believe fun was had by all that day so it can still be counted as a success despite the setbacks!
