Tomorrow morning, 7.45, we head out in small busses for a 6-hour trip (Kenyan time 10) to Masai Mara. First hours will be on a road, the last ones won’t. As previously mentioned we’re staying at Basecamp, luxury camp for a group of students like us. I’m really looking forward to this, even the bus trip since we’re getting baguettes and since I’ve bought dried fruit to nibble on and downloaded podcasts to listen to all the way. The possibility of seeing the safari animals I still haven’t seen like hippos, leopards, hyenas and also the ones I’ve already seen on the safari I went on with my family in South Africa isn’t to bad either.
Since half of the school (the students taking nature/science) is already there we’ve had 2 calm and quiet days here at the boarding. Today especially was a day of true comfort. I woke up early as always and went down to breakfast with Lisa, we’re always the first there. After that we had no lessons, chilled a bit in the children’s library reading Per’s books which are all there and then decided to go sunbathe in the pool area since we finally had gotten a warm day. 2 hours of sunbathing and swimming, with a very uneven layer of sun cream on my back and it now looks like I have the map of the world burnt on my back. Two short lessons in the afternoon, dinner and then we who decided to stay home for the night (being hung over in a small car which is going to drive for 6 hours on crappy and very bumpy roads wasn’t a very alluring thought) made chocolate-balls and a chocolate cake. Lisa and I chaired 20 chocolate balls and then jumped in the pool, hoping that the cold water would burn away the fat. It didn’t.
