Styx online

A huge elephant decided we were not going to tea. He (she?) blocked the only path. Amazing how much bigger an elephant is when it's not in a zoo. We weren't prepared to challenge this particular pachyderm so we retreated to our tent."Where were you?" our guide asked when we finally arrived at tea."There was this elephant . . ." we began."Oh, that one," he said. "Don't worry. We'll come get you for dinner."By this time I felt more than ready for the "deep and comforting sleep" promised in the brochure. Why didn't anyone warn me about acacia pods in Africa Durban country?
