Recap: So nice to have slept in a proper room with decent bed and hot shower. I am feeling revived 😊

Last night, I tried to recapture memories of my last stay here, restaurants, bars etc. but alas the town has moved on as everything does. So instead we settled for a curry, which was wonderful. Albeit very hot especially for me.

The plan for the day was to sort out Lion walking and Livingston Island trips, to plan the Vic fall walk to carry out general car maintenance etc.

one of the most beautiful bars in the world

To sort out Livingston Island lunch /afternoon Tea one goes to the Royal Livingston Hotel, naturally. Job done Martin’s G&T consumed we went on to sort the Lion Walk.

Unfortunately, my Lion Walking with Lion Encounter has ceased here, but the mantle has been taken up by Mukuni. We managed to get Martin booked in for the afternoon walk and I am pleased to say it did not disappoint. I decided not to do it as have done these numerous times and it would have been weird to have been a punter so to speak rather than being one of the guides. I was delighted to meet some of my old muckers from Lion Encounter, who I am pleased to say remembered me. Good time.

Betsy has been looking a bit unloved and African weary so we gave her a good clean in and out and all felt much better.

Back at the hotel we watched a truly woeful Chelsea display, deservedly beaten by Man City, and had an early night.

Tomorrow is another day and football is a game of two halves
