Continued from page 1
Finding a place to eat in London is a difficult task not because of scarcity of restaurants but because of such a wide variety and number of places. Chinese, Indian and Italian are most popular cuisines in London. London Eating http://www.london-eating.co.uk/ provides easiest way to identify closest restaurants of choice of your cuisine. But London is an expensive place in an expensive country. So mind your wallet when going out for dinner. A rough guideline: £5 per person: Sandwich Shop, £10-20 per person: Pub, £15-30 per person: cheap to medium class restaurant, £50-100 per person: very nice restaurant, £100 and above: Savoy or Ritz. For theatre loving people London offers unmatched opportunities of musicals, plays, comedies. The main theatres are located in Central London and all information/bookings can be done in Leicester Square area. Online information and booking of theatre tickets can be done here http://www.londontheatredirect.com/.

| | Safari Adventure in Botswana - Leopard SightingWritten by Kay L. Trotman
Continued from page 1
Still with some daylight remaining, we arrived to see most spectacular, stunning and regal leopard perched atop a huge rock, barely visible when his head was down. As he lifted his head out of same color of grasses surrounding him, oh my god, what a sight! Gently he moved his head from side to side, surveying any potential threat or danger and gently laid his head back down as if to say…can you please let me get some rest here? As if posing for our hundreds of pictures, leopard casually and slowly got up to move, from heat of sunlight to shade of a nearby tree, as sun was slowly going down in distance. And as sun set, and we could only see eyes of leopard, we realized it was pitch black in Okavango Delta. How do we get back? How do we see? Can we find roads? We’re not in city; there are no streetlights, no signs, and no headlights! Like most guides, ours knew exactly where to go and how to get there. But first he asked us, who knew way back – everyone pointed in a different direction, so we chose his. Tearing back across savannah, only things visible were many eyes of animals in bushes or out in open. The guide pointed to eyes, and would say, there’s a hyena over there, there’s a lion over there, but really only eyes we wanted to see were eyes of Chief Camp’s guides as they greeted us back at camp. WHAT AN ADVENTURE!
