Three Little Hippos

Three little hippos..... coming from Kenya! A few weeks ago, my husband had to go to Kenya, to attend some workshops. "Don't even think about coming back home WITHOUT any hippos!" I told him.... not that he would ever do that, but just in case ;-)! During the weekend he and two colleagues spend some time outside Nairobi, at Lake Sopa Resort, to enjoy Kenyan wildlife. Before checking in, he almost bumped into a giraffe, which was blocking the entrance.... just nibbling on some juicy leaves. During the night hippos were grazing in the garden, making an awful lot of noise... waking him up a few times! The hotel itself was decorated with enormous hippo statues.... no chance of bringing those home! Luckily the hotel shop has many handmade "normal sized" hippos for sale. It does not happen often that my husband is "spoilt for choice" when buying hippos... but this time he was. During that weekend he also arranged for a large hippo to be made, especially for me. I will write about that hippo, soon. Wanted to share these three beauties with all of you, first!
