Hoe gaan dit?!
Just another update from Southern Africa. But before I dive into details, I have to set the record straight. I read my blog the other day and saw that my phone did NOT know the word cubs... Hence the - maybe - weird text. I do apologise for this, it will not happen again :).
To get back to my daily business. A couple of days ago, I had a Lion King moment. We were visiting a lion park and we got to hug 6 weeks young cubs! For those who do not remember the film (shame on you..). I will give you a short summary of THE best moment of the film. When Simba is born, Rafiki - the baboon - lifts the lion cub in the air and.. Aaaaaah *** Unfortunately, the fairytale, disney-like feeling was hard to find. There was no music, no baboon, too many people and cranky cubs. Considering this, it was a beautiful day with many cute/beautiful/amazing/incredible animals - small and big.
Although we had a lovely week, two volunteers left. I miss them already. Good thing is, they live in Belgium, so I can visit them. And I will! We could tell Frau Holle was also very sad about them leaving, because the weather turned 180 degrees: it was COLD! "Grab your sweaters and trousers"-cold.
And as you can see on one of the pictures, I am officially part of the Glen Afric crew! I now have my own T-shirt. Fancy-pants-y. To celebrate, we went shooting! I have to admit, my eyesight is so bad, I missed every single target..
While I am writing this, I remember some spectacular moments. First of all, somebody left the stable door open and Lindt and Jim - the baby donkey and zebra - escaped. They could smell the freedom, because they were not planning on going in. Amazing as we are, we got them anyways ;) Secondly, we had an 'almost dead' experience. Don't ever try to seperate a mother cow and her baby, especially not when the mother has HUGE horns.
By the time you read this, I have probably been to a mall in Jo'burg. But I will save that story for next time.
Bye!

Lenette OMG, Quinta, heb je nu echt een reptiel op schoot?? Wie had dat ook gedacht ... ;). Well, your daily business is much more interesting then ours I'm afraid. Max and Pali snoring, Tito and Sky trying to scream louder than the hoover ... BTW congrats with your own Glen Afric T-shirt! Have fun and hope to skype tomorrow. xxx
Lenette het op jou gewag vanaand, môre probeer te bel? soen vir jou, xxx
Taco Howzit? This week, I learned from a collegue this is the typical South African way to ask how you are. That is to say: in Kaapstad. They should organize their WIFI over there, otherwise we will have to fly over and explain it to them! Take care, have fun! xxx
Eef Hey meis, Leuk om te lezen wat je zoal beleeft daar in het mooie Zuid Afrika. Gaaf hoor de foto's die je hebt gepost! Dat reptiel ziet er bijzonder uit. Mis je het kikkerlandje Nederland al een beetje? Het is daar natuurlijk een stuk beter weer dan hier, al moest je zo te lezen wel achter truien en lange broeken aan toen het weer omsloeg. Ik wens je nog heel veel plezier daar en het ga je goed! Groetjes Eef
