Explore the Area Around the Lodge, Magical Dinner -- 3/7

 Today was less intense activity than usual. We walked to a nearby settlement and a camp ground, and met some of the local people. We looked around a souvenir shop in the village, pictured below. 


In the late afternoon we went on a 'game drive' and had a happy hour, then dinner in the bush. The area here is pretty flat with a small mountain range. The scenery was pretty interesting, but there really weren't many animals. 


The rocks in the foreground made me think 'Aha! 
dinosaur poop!,


We stopped for what I thought was our bush dinner, but actually only the appetizers. We enjoyed them and watched the sunset before proceeding to dinner, which was the big surprise.




An elaborate setting greeted us at dinner....there were lanterns leading the way and our formal table with fabulous lighting really set the stage for an impressive sendoff from the desert.
