I'm really happy! I'm staying at Moholoholo for an extra 10 days. Was meant to be going to my other project on the 6th but now going on the 16th! Would have been better actually spending the whole 2 months here as I'm settled in and love the animals but i'm definetly up for giving the other place a go!
On Saturday we went to Na Veni it is a private part of the Kruger park that only we are allowed to go to hehe! We left at 6.30am and went in two trucks. By the time we got there it was boiling. It is ALOT hotter than where we are because we are within the mountains. We followed alot of tracks which was cool. Saw quite a lot of Giraffe,Zebra,Wilderbeast,Hornbills,Eagles and lots of Impala! On the way back Yan stopped off in town and left us in an open car in the back of the car park next to a gang of black men. Jee thats clever! The guys wouldn't stop talking to us. They asked us if we have had anything stolen as there is a lot of crime and then started talking about how easy it would be to steal the car :S When Yan came back we had a go at him! He did buy us ice lollies which kind of made up for it! I got sooooo burnt that day. On Sunday we went tubing it was soooo much fun! I fell out of it once but luckily had a life jacket on! I got stuck on rocks quite a few times aswell but I definetly want to do it again! After we went back to Swadini and just chilled out at the pool. I got even more sunburnt its not even funny. I was/still am in a bad way! My legs and shoulders are bad I had to go home and have a cold bath. I have decided it is definetly my Malaria tablets causing me to burn soo much. They make you more sensitive to the sun. I have stopped taking them now as where I am is a low risk area anyway. Last night I managed to go out with everyone to upperdeck even though I was still bad. I had to wear my dress something that you don't get to see me in often! I am officially addicted to the alcohol Amaula it is sooo good! It is from the Marula trees that are everywhere.
Today we have been tagging vultures. It is our final day of doing it thank god! We are in town today because we are picking up a new person. Another dutch boy!! Have some new residence in my house. We had 3 baby Dassies under our fridge but managed to get them out. Also have a squirrel that lives in the roof!
I'm trying to upload some pictures but can't at the mo. I am in another internet cafe which is supposed to be better but actually isn't! I will try and get some added on soon! Well better go now hope you are all well!
