Scandals about Anna

Overlanding

Any overlanding trip has its scandals, and I thought that I was onto one when Anna commented earlier in the trip that she would have to watch what I wrote about because her parents were reading this. So far, her scandals have been:

Hand lotion tossing

This was the night she was sleeping in the bunk above me, and tried to hit me on the head with a bottle of body lotion. I did not believe that it had just fallen down during the night, it must have been deliberate.

Tent sharing

We all shared at some time or another, some of us even with members of the other gender. At Ngepi, almost everyone heard Anna as she discovered the quite little patch she and Pip had chosen for their tent was full of enormous, blood-sucking, flesh-eating insects, and she ran screaming to the nearest tent and sought shelter for the rest of the evening with Fernando.

The Brazilian Rescue

Fernando needed rescuing several times during the course of the trip. Normally this was soon after someone had given directions in English at a slightly faster pace than usual, and Fernando's translation was not keeping up with the flow. Anna would discretely help him get re-oriented when none of the rest of us were observing.

And ...

On the last day, Anna herself said there was a scandal, I just had to ask the right person the right question. I either didn't ask that right person, or the right question!

So, for Anna's parents - if there was anything that could have been a scandal, she was too discrete about it to let it become one!
