Singita Boulders Lodge, South Africa, Tuesday [Evening]

Yes, sadly, yet another day was coming to a close ... but just because the sun had set didn't mean there was any shortage of things to do! So go forth, Fandomites, and enjoy what evening at the Singita Boulders Lodge has to offer.

Each suite (http://www.africansafaritravel.com/site_images/accommodation/302-5.jpg) comes with a private, heated swimming pool, a double-sided fireplace, a private lounge, and a game-viewing deck. Yes, the animals come close enough to see from your rooms. No, you can't feed your roommate to a lion.

[ooc: Your suite assignments (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AjYPXKlqn1grdDFPSTZMaGpzZVlSX21uLXNkeC1YZ2c&output=html) can be found here. Please reply to this thread with your suite number in the subject line, NSFW threads go into your private journals as usual, you know the drill.]

Eat dinner outside under the stars (http://www.africa-adventure.com/dbimages/1864_singita_boulders_main_pool_lr_md.jpg) by the pool. Dinner service begins at 7:30pm, after the evening game drive returns. The menu is a fusion of pan-African, European and Asian flavor, and the fillet of ostrich with a cinnamon espresso jus is highly recommended. A Shangaan choir provides evening entertainment.

Enjoy some (BUT NOT ALL) of the 35,000 bottles of South African wine the lodge stocks, but don't stay up too late: the morning safari leaves at 6:30 AM tomorrow.

The Spa and Gym: The gym is open from 6:00 AM until 8:00 PM, with a variety of gym equipment and treadmills to choose from. The spa offers a variety of treatments that can be administered in your suites or in the spa itself.

The library is where you can check your email and borrow one of the lodge's books, offered in a variety of different languages. The library is open all the time.

Head back out into Kruger National Park (http://www.wildearth.tv/wildearth-safari-game-drive-africa-presenter-webcam-live-01) for a chance to see some of the animals before they turn in for the night. You'll get a snack as the sun goes down, then travel back to the lodge under roughly a gazillion stars as you search for nocturnal animals as they begin their nights.

I am indoors, sitting under a tree and a lamppost.

I'd much rather be on safari.

Even if he'd heard about a party in one of the suites, Percy had decided against going. He wasn't a huge party guy and sitting beside the water while having a good dinner was more his speed.

The choir was just an added bonus.

Yup, Alec was at the gym. Where else would he be at ten o'clock at night while on vacation in Africa?

Okay, other than sleeping or on an evening safari or eating or watching TV. He was here, okay? Excuse him if his portal lag hadn't quite gone away yet.

He'd never actually been on an elliptical machine before, so his confusion might be pretty amusing to anyhone who happened to witness him fiddling with the buttons. Or, you know, anyone who wasn't used to seeing muscular guys on ellipticals.
