Last Friday in camp

So after leaving the kids we had the luxury of going to the local pub for some lunch. This wasn't normal procedure but we were going to a local craft market in nearby Hluhluwe in the afternoon so it was quicker than going back to camp for some lunch. I was admiring my tan in the bathroom in the pub when I rolled my sock down a bit further and realised most of it was actually just muck. Hope the showers are working back in camp!!

We went off the the local market, which wasn't actually a market at all (though we did drive through a real market to get there!). It was really just a fancy curio shop, but they did have some nice stuff and it was made my the local people, so we all bought a few gifts for people back home.

Back to camp for our last afternoon drive :( but it was going to be a sundowner drive so that is always a good thing! Off we went in high spirits, beers hidden in backpacks, hoping they wouldn't get shook up too much on the drive. We spent about 15 minutes cheering on a dung beetle in his efforts to roll his dung house complete with wife sat in top, up a hill, and he finally made it despite several falls back down to the start! Dung beetles have the right of way in the reserves in Africa, so you have to stop if you see one in the road and wait for them to cross!

We then went on to look at the Thanda tented camp that was being rebuilt, really luxurious all with their own patios with jacuzzi's and days beds and fantastic views.

Maren and I were both admiring our tans in the back row of the vehicle, until I rubbed at mine and realised it was just more muck, we were both filthy from our mornings gardening at the creche and then the game drive, but after 2 weeks, we were quite used to this now and now even too bothered about getting a shower! Must be turning into a real bush girl!!

Then it was back to camp for the Friday night braai (bbq) in the boma.
