So far so good on the guest front. There has only been one guy who didn’t want to listen to instructions but I’ve talked about him earlier. We had a group from Dublin over the weekend. They were good craic. So much fun in fact that we closed the bar at a record time. So much for the recession at home. They were from the Donaghmede area and were over for ten days of scoopin as far as I could see. They stayed in Hans Merensky where Paul had bought a house on the golf course before they landed down to see us. They wanted me to join them in the pool at 4 in the morning and this was after getting up at 5 the previous morning and doing a game walk and drive. I wasn’t much up for the skinny dippin in the end and I told Ronny to say nothing as I slinked off to bed. I could hear them calling me after for a few minutes but I was out cold the moment my head hit the pillow so that was a relief.
The next morning as you can imagine was full of sorry for themselves looking faces! It was hilarious but they were heading for Cape town anyway so all I will say is watch out Cape town. The bar bill was massive and it was another record. They were in behind the bar pouring themselves mad concoctions. Things will seem quiet from now on!
I actually went and played golf on the Hans Merensky course yesterday. It was my day off so I was determined to get out of here for a day. It’s a lovely course and not particularly difficult. My golf was shocking though and I’ll put it this way. I wouldn’t be handing in my card! I enjoyed the day though and where else in the World will you have to aim your shot a little right to avoid hitting a Giraffe and where your Kit Kats are robbed by the monkeys!
The walks and game drives are going well and I’m seeing some really cool stuff everyday so that keeps me busy. The boss and his wife are on holidays for a week so people are all more relaxed around the lodge. It’s a nice atmosphere at the moment.
