Boet suggested that, to give a real indication of the size (yes we had put a tape on it by now ) we go put it up a tree !!! Can I say, easier said than done !!!!

We loaded it into the back of the Nissan and drove up into the camp...



Now clearly we all know what is happening here, you will recall I was crowned King of Mozambique earlier in the trip.... it is obvious I have climbed the tree and now everyone is worshiping....



.....don't believe that ???? Really ??? I am shocked....!!!! OK...so, it appears that it is easier to get a message to the guy up the tree about which limb the cable should go over, if everyone on the ground points and shouts at the same time....

Can I tell you, that Nissan was bouncing forward the whole time Mr Scaly was getting lifted up !!!



And there....



....looks big right !!!

How about some scale...



...and NO I am not a bloody midget !!!!!!

A foot...



And I have to say I do love the colouration...



Back down on the ground and a close up of where the first shot landed ...
