Day 6

Oh, and before I go on, let me explain that whilst the pics I took of L'Abri could allude to possible resort-like facilities, let me point out a few things; to get hot water, you have to make a FIRE, showers are outdoors (with tarpaulin doors), you pump the toilet handle to flush; the paths around the camp site are only in any useable because wild pigs frequent them (therefore moving the debris aside), and I’m told if a wild pig is on the path I’m on to get out of its way; these aspects aren’t the most photographical (dunno if I’ll have time to whip out the camera and simultaneously dodge pigs), so you get pics of the pretty bits

Today started at 7am, you know, natural waking up time for me (NOT) with brekky @ 7:30am and then lotsa team building activities, lunch and then a walk through quasi-rainforest (and back); more learning activities in the arvo, time for showers and then supper, followed by more activities...


Geez... as I type this out I realise that Saturday was a packed one :S

Observations
• Came across a tree that's 400+ years old
• Everyone keeps asking me about Jackie Chan
• How do you talk about family with those who have never had one???
• Am learning some Zulu; Hello (Sawubona), How are you (Unjani), and various swearing phrases :P
• Taught a zulu how to use chopstix today
