A not so Sunset drive.

When we got back to the lodge around 3:15pm, the was a man and woman there that Pieter didn’t particularly like. We had met them briefly the day we had arrived and the couple are pissheads and stoners, and I do mean serious pissheads and stoners. But apart from not being able to understand them very well they seemed harmless but not really our kind of people and Pieter wasn’t that impressed they had just turned up out of the blue.
Pieter, Ellie and I were sat around the kitchen table whilst Simon and the couple were on the sofas and then the guy came over and wanted to speak to Pieter about buying his Safari Land Cruiser, and they went off for Pete to show them around, and Pete knew it was a waist of time because they wouldn’t be able to come up with the money and after the viewing we all ended up around the kitchen table.
The girl didn’t say much atall today, unlike when we first arrived but she did smoke joint after joint and so did he and he also drank 2 big bottles of beer within the the first 45 mins. Which left him with none. Then he asked Pete if the bottle store accepted cards and Pieter said no it’s cash only and I saw the panic set in on the guys face.
He’d definitely already had enough because he couldn’t string a sentence together and when he did he’d forget what he was saying before he got to the end of a sentence and then Pieter mentioned the sunset drive and somehow they invited themselves to.
Simon had already dismissed himself earlier in the day so that left just me and Ellie in the back of the chuckit bucket with a girl that doesn’t want to speak and a guy that can’t. We were now dreading this outing.
Just before 5pm we set out in Chucky with me, Ellie and the non talker in the back and the drunk in the front with Pieter clambering around all over the front seats and opening hatches and windows like a monkey.
We headed back towards the lake and then turned left at the lake running right next to it for miles. It was very beautiful and scenic but the wind was blowing across the openness of the area and we didn’t see any hippos or crocodile’s.
To top it off there wasn’t much of a sunset and nobody except me wanted to get out when we were at the sunset spot, so we just headed back for home and after I’d dropped my camera off in our little house we came back up to the lodge and the other 2 had left.
Ellie and I were both relived that they weren’t staying for dinner and we sat around the kitchen with Simon whilst Pieter cooked us a lovely dinner of wors sausage, corn on the cob and green beans followed by banana frittas.
It had been an exhausting day of work and play and despite the crappy field trip at the end of the day it had been great, and by 8:30pm we were all ready for bed.Okumaya devam et
