Day 5

Day 5

Well I got up at 6 for a run this morning. We run around the perimeter of the college. It’s about 2.5 km around the whole lot. I wasn’t exactly killing myself as you have to keep your wits about you. There are snakes and scorpions on the trail so trying to avoid them is the name of the game. The fence is also fairly flimsy and it wouldn’t stop
a lamb never mind a charging Buffalo or Elephant if they took a disliking to you! Collected our books later on and had class for the first time. Coffee is going to be needed for these classes I suspect and lots of it! There is a hell of a lot of stuff to learn. We headed out for a guided walk in the campus and it was great to hear someone explain so much about the environment around us. Sean is our instructor and he seems very passionate about what he does and extremely knowledgeable. I think were going to learn a hell of a lot from him. So here I am making a blog entry with a nice cup of rooibos tea in the bush in South Africa. I'm watching the Sun go down. Sure it's not a bad place to be at all!
