Crocs and we don't mean the shoes!

We saw our first crocodile today, basking on a mudflat in the the sun up Mandori Creek, where we are anchored for the night - no swimming planned! Although the river is still over a mile wide here, the creek is narrow. Once we were over the sand bar at the entrance it is surprisingly deep quite far up, fortunate as it is uncharted. We set out quite early this morning to take advantage of the tides and are now about halfway up to Georgetown, our final destination. It was only 14 degrees at 0730 this morning but 30 degrees this afternoon with less than 20% humidity, necessitating quite a wardrobe change during the day. There have been hardly any other boats in evidence and virtually no sign of human development of any kind; lots more dolphins though. The quiet tonight is incredible, only punctuated by bird and insect sounds and the odd fish breaking the surface of the water, it's magical. We are going a short distance tomorrow over to Tendeba where there is a camp where they serve bush pig!
