And finally I got gav to hold a snake!! And look how happy he is to do it!! Its some sort of constrictor grass snake so not too dangerous, it was pretty strong though, constantly wrapping itself around our wrists, necks whatever it could! the park was really good!















I think this day was our actual anniversary hence the pic of the 2 of us toasting our drinks! 7
years, thats a long time!! we all had a few drinks together that night in the bar, don't we just look great, boys and girls!! that was a top night as i remember, lots of silliness hehe!

























the next day we went on a village walk to learn about the masaai culture - that is one culture i would never like to be a part of. they curcumsize both boys and girls at 15 - so the women dont enjoy sex and therefore don't cheat on their husband. the men can have as many wives as they like as long as they buy them with cows up to 10 cows for a pretty wife! the women do all the work from raising the children to building the house, the men who used to hunt lions hence the warrior name now just do the farming, ie looking after the cows, and of course pregnating the women. if hes at wife 1s house, any children over 5 go to a neighbouring house, when wife 1 becomes pregnant he moves on to wife 2, and any of her children over 5 will then go to a neighbouring house, very wierd if you ask me. the village we went to was 1 mans village who had 8 wives and 50 children!!! i think thats most western worlds men's nightmare!! this is a masaai elder outside a house
