Friday morning before breakfast I showered.  As I was scrubbing my legs, I looked down at the drain in the center of the shower floor.  The drain has a flat metal cover with 3/8" holes to let the water out.  There seemed to be a little stick in one of the holes, sticking up through the plate about a half inch, and it had 3 yellow dots on the upper end.  I wondered why I didn't feel it when I was standing around in the shower.  Maybe I stepped over the drain and not on it.  I kept looking at the "stick" and wondering about this, and it grew before my eyes.  It kept growing and a fat little green frog squeezed up our of the drain into the shower.  It had yellow marks over its eyes and nose, and yellow stripes down the sides.

At the Skukuza airport, everything went as scheduled - the plane was a few minutes late, and when it did get there, there were two of them.  The airline people herded the waiting passengers onto the correct plane.  But both planes went to Johannesburg!  I got on the same plane as my luggage.  The late departure from Skukuza cost us any chance to make the earlier flight to Durban but that couldn't be helped.  We had about a one-hour layover.
