snake!

oh yeah, and i remembered today about that snake we saw! except, well, actually i was the only one that saw it, incredibly.

we were driving along this long dirt track out of the deserted santa rosa national park, where we'd already seen a bunch of birds and things, when i saw this huge yellow snake at least the width of the car (and its a big car, as i might have mentioned), curled across the road. i jumped on the brakes. and i was all, "look, there's a huge snake!" and simone was all, "er what where?" and i was all, "that huge yellow thing the size of a person right in front of us!" and simone was all, "what?" and it sort of started, leisurelyly pulled all its coils up, and slithered off into the undergrowth.

i was glad we weren't hiking! and it was quite near houses and things. what larks eh pip, what larks!

I think it's because I'm substantially shorter than you, so all I could see was Burban bonnet. Or because I was waffling about the German word for Red-Backed Shrike whilst staring out the window. :-)
