How far away from the bash were you?

EXIF say "22.8". I am guessing feet but could be meters. From memory I would have guessed somewhere in between..may 40-50 feet.
At this hippo pool most of us spent our time leaning against a fence composed of one long piece of rough wood on posts. Our feet were on a slight muddy incline that rapidly dropped down to the water. The nearest hippos were probably 10 feet away. You dont want to go sliding down or venture in front of the fence!
I have no idea how many hippos were in there, since they are mostly submerged with eyes, ears and only a bit more showing, except during aggressive displays. Must have been 50+, probably more.
And they stink. Constantly recycling the grasses they eat at the ends of the day, creating a foul cloud of noxious gas as you get anywhere close.
