Was up before my alarm, did a little packing, off to breakfast by 7:30, then back to finish packing and relax until 10:30. Went out to lobby, paid my bill and my reservation for when I come back, then waited for the driver to pick me up at 11:00. Somehow, he picked up another woman, Tracy, but his information was that it was a party of two, but when she said she was by herself, they drove off, never coming into the lobby, so I never saw him. About ten after 11:00, I spoke to a couple doing some birding pictures and when I mentioned I was going on a horse safari, they commented that they met a woman at breakfast, Tracy, who was also going on a horse safari. I realized that it wasn't likely there were two horses safari pickups at the same time and place, so I had the front desk reach out and let them know they left someone behind, and they quickly reversed course and came back for me. Only delayed us by about half an hour, and we arrived at the Wilderness Lodge just after 1:00, having has a lovely get-to-know you conversation. We got settled into our respective rooms, mine was Bucephalus, hers was Secretariat (whom she'd never heard of!), then had a gorgeous lunch, followed by a relaxing swim and sit by their little lap pool. Went back to the room for a bit before dinner, met for drinks before that, had a fabulous meal and settled down for the night by about 9:00. A wonderful shower and I was soon off to sleep! Good night!
