Rondo Rondo R-R-R-Rondo

We have just returned from a weekend in Kakamega Forest with Marc’s parents. You may remember if you are savvy, dedicated blog reader that we went to Rondo before when my mom came to visit. It is a wonderful retreat centre surrounded by beautiful gardens and a lovely veranda. As before, we spent the weekend walking (a bit), eating (quite a bit) and relaxing (A LOT!) It was so nice to unwind for the weekend and not have to worry about dishes and cleaning and cooking. Unfortunately Carlynne was on call this weekend and so was unable to join us and instead was stuck with all the dishes and cleaning and cooking. (We will make it up to her in two weeks when we head to the coast for a lot of beach laying and coral snorkeling and just general chillaxin. Is that really a word or just a word people in Chilliwack use? Or maybe I just associate it with Chilliwack because it starts with chill mmmmm)
We went for a walk again through the jungle, up to a viewpoint and then back to the bat cave we went to before. This time I knew what to expect and was quite wary of the bats flying over my head (my imagination was running wild with icky bats getting caught in my curly hair) so I spent most of the time in the cave hunched over and the other part gripping Marc's leg.
On top of the hill:

Dans le jungle
With the very large umbrellas we quite enjoyed. We need to get one of these puppies for Chilliwack rain.

Looking for the southern cross on our nightly walk. Pete was blocking out the light from the cottages. OR is he just acting a bit weird? ;)
Enjoying our chocolate mousse.

Well we are now back in Kapsowar and back to work but on the bright side, we found an ice cream maker here and are making OREO ICE CREAM tonight!!! Do you want to come over?

I would love to come over - thanks so much for inviting me! I love ice cream! And homemade ice cream is so much fun! Is it a hand crank or a nice one that you don't have to crank yourself?
