LOL. You should have sent her.
That reminds me of another story from that trip. The next day we were driving along and saw three or four vans out in the tall grass. I knew there was a leopard in the area, and the girlfriend had not seen one yet, so I got off the road.
Well, in the tall grass, we couldn't see a thing in that little Renault 4, so she starts in again, about how she wants to see the leopard, and why can't she if all these people in the vans can, etc.
I told her that if she wanted to see the bloody thing, she should get out of the car and walk over and take a look. Then the van driver next to me leans over and tells me that if she opened that door, he was going to call the Ranger.
I just about let her go, then thought better of it...
