On the road to Augrabies Falls

So today I slept in. Until 7:30. Hehe. I took it quite easy, cleaned my cameras and had a few rusks for breakfast before I left the bushcamp and chatted with Prof. Anne Rasa for a while. I took a few pictures of the main building and the very cool Land Cruiser until I headed to Upington at 12. 2 hours later I was on site and stocked up at the Pick'n Pay. Most people looked at me as if I was some sort of an alien. Must've been because I looked like Mr. Crocodile Dundee himself with dirty shoes and clothes. Or the redneck farmer's boy who comes to town once a year. Anyway...nice to be able eat some fruits and vegetables again!!!

I took off to Augrabies right after but couldn't make it to the gate before 5 which is why I went to the "Quiver Tree Guest House" quite early. Three crazy dogs went to greet me at the entrance and they carefully watched every move and every piece of luggage I unloaded from the car. Later tonite I went to give that lady who runs the place my laundry and when I went back to my room the fourth dog, which had been in a kennel before gave me a not too tender bite to the thigh. Strange place. The lady had told me that he doesn't like "blacks". I wonder if they trained the dog and whether this also applies to bad smelling tourists. :) Well, I hope not to be too politically incorrect here. ;)

But it didn't ruin the braai for me, which this time consisted of beef filet, butternut, the obligatory baked potatoe and a pumpkin-like fruit the name of which I cannot remember at the moment. And I have to admit that after all this writing I am seriously tired. Better sleep now...if the bush baby on the tree above lets me cause it's dropping stupp on the roof. Damn bugger! :) Well, the alarm is set to 6am. I hope I'll make it...!

Have a good nite everyone! Cheers and sweet dreams!
