Blisters and Hoes

---

Day seven: Today we set off to find the lions using the telemetry. No luck meant we went into the boma again to cut down the plants in between the two electric fences. (When too many plants touch the electric fence it can short circuit it). We used hoes to dig up the grass and plant roots and cleared it all out of the area. It's hard work and iv got a huge blister! When we were done, Simon gave us a leaf to wash our hands with. We crushed it in our hands and it was like soap! It's better than aloe vera as it's also used an antiseptic.

We then went to track the lions again before lunch and after another long hunt for them we found them laid down in the thickets and for the first time we got a good look at the male! I'm getting better at using the camera now, I managed to get a good head shot of him.

I went to bed at 8:30pm, I was so tired after all the digging in the boma (yes I'm unfit!).
