Thursday, 27 April. After lighting the "Donkey" to get heated water for a shower (night temperatures dropping below about 14 C), we had breakfast and headed off to the south gate of the park and then up to the north gate. Third bridge is actually broken at the moment and there is a sign warning of the dangers of crocodiles in the water so we had to back track. On route at one of the diversions round a waterlogged track we saw a large group of elephants, shown in the photo, including some young ones but difficult to get a good photo. The track from south to north gate was more or less straight, some deeper sand but not a problem but we didn't see much wildlife until we reached the campsite to be greeted by the blue-balled monkeys. They're as mischievous as the baboons and in spite of our precautions, they did manage to get our last two hot-cross buns from the table.The wooden bridge to the entrance gate was made of logs; it looked pretty ropey and in need of repair and the top was partly under water but all the same was passable.
