Livingstone trip, PART 2- Continue of day 1

So, we were supposed to arrive at 3 in the afternoon, but we arrived
at 7! It was a very long trip, and Dad said though a text that we
were going to fly back! YEEE HAAA! At the bus stop, it was pitch
dark, and our taxi driver wasn't there yet. So, we waited at the
pitch dark bus station in the middle of down town. You know, after
all we had been though, I was actually beginning to think that our
taxi driver had forgotten about us. We had only been waiting a couple
minutes, but after all our adventures right after another, why not,
huh? Well, thankfully he didn't forget about us! He was very nice,
and sorry for being late! He drove us to our lodge, where we were
going to drop of our stuff and go to dinner. And surprise, surprise,
the power was out! And, to make it more scary, the lodge was in the
middle of a game park, so hippos and elephants and monkeys just rome
around this place Now, we were walking through the pitch dark, going
to our chalet, feeling like we were going to bump into a rhino! Note:
NOT a good feeling! So, we got to our chalet, we dropped off our
stuff, and we got back into the taxi. It was then around 8, when we
got to Olga's, the Italian restaurant where we were going to eat. We
got some pesto pasta, and ate it with out anything interesting
happening, except for the power going off and quickly coming back on.
When we finished, we got back into the taxi and prayed that the power
would be on then we got back. And unfortunately, in wasn't. There
was only 1 candle in out chalet, so it would be a very dark night!
But guess what! While we were at the front desk, the power came back
on! YAAAAAAAAAA! So we walked back to our chalet, feeling
triumphant and safe! We got into our chalet, and turned the light on.
Uh Oh. Surprise surprise, the light bulb was not working. It
looked like we would have to wait until morning. Thankfully the one
in the bathroom was working! So we settled into our cozy, cute
chalet, and went to sleep.
