Sabbatical Meike

Another week has gone by, my two friends have left and new volunteers have arrived - this time two french ladies. There is a lot of turnaround at the moment, which is not always easy getting used to.
Still we are going out every day, checking on the cheetahs, the rhinos, the elefants and the lions. Even though to be honest I'm a bit apprehensive about the lions at the moment.
Since the weather was really good last week we went camping for one night - in the bush. We build a huge fire, everybody brought a sleeping bag and snacks. I was a bit scared of any creepers and critters trying to crawl into my ears, but that went surprisingly well. And with my new sleeping bag I was also warm enough. I guess I got about 3 hours of sleep this night, and my back really hurt the next morning - but it was an adventure 😀.
Weekend activities this time took place in the Pottery in Kenton, where I was able to try to create my own pots and bowls - which takes a lot of patience and trying, usually the clay just collapsed again on me. And another beach hike where we came across a puff adder (of course not knowing at the time).
The days are blending one into one at the moment, finally there is some sun, but rain is never far away.
For the coming weekend I am planning a day at the beach, just relaxing, swimming and reading - since we are at the Indian Ocean the water is already warm enough.Okumaya devam et
