SOUTH AFRICA | Friday, 30 January 2009 | Views [1198]

Another passage of the pinapple turck.. couldnt resist once again to their cheap price (just over 2 euros!). Otherwise.. well once again I regret not having started this blog earlier; now everything is basically settled in and, somewhere I don't feel like there's anything interesting to say. But, just read a friend's blog and even the most basic details I thought was interesting. So, I'm not forcing you to read on but for those interested.. I'll somehow start over.

WELL, my day starts at 8 so generally I wake up around 6:30/45 to give me time to take a shower and/or a decent breakfast [you find all kinds of food here, there's even a KFC in town!] generally cereal and any kind of fruit that's at hand [I'll definately miss the mangoes, pineapple, pears, papayas...]. I'll start walking to work at around ten to 8 - that is, if I'm not late. Once there I share the duty of cleaning a couple of the front cages with another volunteer [rehabilitation cages]. I'll often take my time as after this chore the only thing left is to sit on the bench [outside the gate we wait for visitors to arrive so that we can walk them in]. Then as I said before, I'll do tours and help out with random duties [also, around the beginning of my stay I tried learning Afrikaans; language widely used in South Africa and very similar to Flemish or Ductch. Not so hard for the basics as a lot of words are similar to English but, I'm afraid I won't get very far..].

For now, I am actually getting ready to leave The Crags; half glad, ha;f sad, already, a lot of volunteers have left and the place seems pretty empty. Not leaving Africa just yet though, I'm planning a trip to Namibia going by bus through northern South Africa. If everything goes well I'll be spending just under two weeks there.

Then, back to Europe [Paris] for about ten days before I leave for South America.

Anyone been to Namibia?
