昨日はすごくたくさんアップしましたが、それは夫が出張中でいないから。時間を持て余しています（笑）。

I uploaded many blog posts yesterday because my husband is away on business and I seem to have so much time!

Shamwari Private Game Reserve での食事は朝食でいただいたポーチドエッグは美味しかったのですが、あとは余り口に合いませんでした。ただ、初日の夕食のバーベキューのチキンのケバブはとても美味しかったですし、サラダの１つだった（多分）大麦のカレー味のサラダも少し味が濃かったですが美味しかったです。

I didn’t like much of the food at Shamwari Private Game Reserve but the poached eggs at breakfast was very good and the chicken kebab & a curry flavoured grain salad was very good at the BBQ on our first evening.

こんな感じで、ジープでご一緒だった２組のご夫婦とガイドさん同じテーブルでいただきます。アフリカンミュージックのパーフォーマンスもありました。そして、余り恥ずかしくて舞い上がり写真を撮るのを忘れましたが、バースデーケーキのサービスもありました。わたしのお誕生日からは多分もう２週間くらい経っていたはずなのですが（笑）、宿泊の予約を入れる時に何か理由のある宿泊なら書く場所があったので、誕生日のお祝い旅行の一環だと書いたのです。パスポートのコピーも送っているので誕生日がいつかはわかっていたはずなのですけど、ケーキにキャンドル、歌まで歌われ、とっても恥ずかしかったです。

A table was set up at the garden (?) of the main lodge and we were at a table with the other 2 couples we were in the jeep with and also the guide.  There was some African music performance as well.  Also – I forgot to take a photo completely because I was so flustered and embarraesd – but they gave me a birthday cake.  When you book a stay here there is a box where you are supposed to write what occasion took you there, so I wrote that it was a part of my birthday trip.  By the time we were there it was probably 2 weeks after my actual birthday so it didn’t feel right (they did have a copy of my passport so they knew when) but it embarrased me more because they sang the birthday song when they brought the cake with a lit candle on.  It was very nice of them, but most of us don’t like that, right?  Anyway, that’s done now.
