Lajuma, August 11th

(That's what I actually wrote last night)

Lajuma. Just a couple of minutes up here and -thanks to the campfire- I already smell like a smoked salmon. There are 19 students doing their projects 10 of which will be going to Kruger tomorrow. I will stay in the wilderness camp tonite and it's fucking cold! Just the way you wouldn't imagine South Africa at all, but hey, it's winter.

I went to pay the students in the barn a visit and they have a very cute tame bush baby roaming the building. The first thing it did for a greeting is give me bite in the thumb. Must've been because I tried to pick it up while it was trying to steal food from the plates, lil bugger. :)

So tomorrow we'll take off for Kruger and we'll enter through Phalaborwa gate which means we have to prepare for a 3,5 hours drive. Accomodation ois booked in Mopani and Shingwedzi. That'll be a lot of fun and I wonder what 15 pairs of eyes (including Retha, Ian, Retha's sister and husband and myself) are able to spot.

Have a good night!

Cheers!

Stefan
