Day 14 - Last Day for Gunilla

Today was Gunilla's last day and we just stayed by the pool again. We finally got the seats we had wanted all along but were never able to be out early enough to get. Although it is not permitted, people go out early and put their stuff on chairs, then they go back to their room or whatever only to arrive hours later. Supposedly, their belongings should be removed if they are absent for more than one hour, but it never happens. Today, however, was our lucky day!

The elephants came to say goodbye and Gunilla got hugs from Jumbo and Tonkow gave us both kisses. She was so funny today, we had some cashews in a bag and she insisted on having some. After the nuts and bananas she was thirsty and decided to drink the water from our glasses. She sounded like a kid with a straw when she reached the bottom!

Tomorrow will be my last day here this time around. It will be bitter sweet. I love this place, but I don't know if I'd like to travel this far anymore. But who knows, some day I might decide to go. I know that Kimberley wants to come back and she probably will. We both feel kind of close to Roger when we are here as it was HIS favorite place. We really feel good about our little ceremony at sea yesterday.
