On the plus side, the stewardess on the flight home was gorgeous.

The good news, I went to the doctors and it look like I'm ok. It does appear the anti malaria tablets gave me a series of side effects and I'm not showing signs of the flu or anything worse.

The bad news, my only picture of the leopard was beyond saving. Not only someone decide to move the back of their head into my shot, but the picture of the leopard taken with the GH4 + 35-100 was too blurred.

Just to show bad I was, I spent little time setting up the correct exposers for my pictures when using the GH5 + 100-400. I make sure my shot were steady enough and took the shot despite I had the less than required shutter speed. Since a lot of the shots were accidentally taken as JPEGs, many photos including the ones shot in good light or shadows need to an increase in exposures in post process. Damn. The other problem is I like to have my pictures to be colourful and a lot of the JPEGs were dull.

In total I took around 6,000 photos and I went through a quarter. I will start uploading some now. Enjoy and criticism is welcome.
