Not much happening in the
last few days. Hi-lux had a few leaks and the cruiser is still waiting for more
break repairs so we’ve been stuck with just the maruti for a few days and rain
kept us in all day yesterday. Been playing lots of settlers and broke out the
bananagrams last night.
Had a good north morning
today. I got to track TNSL and practically ran over her so I was spot on with
the direction of the beeps. Only my second time ever tracking an animal
(putting on headphones and listening to beeps) and the first time I pretty much
knew where Sherman was before we tracked her so that didn’t really count. I was
glad that I was able to drive straight towards her without much problem! Also
got the hi-lux stuck and unstuck in the mud and am feeling very proud of my mud
driving abilities. The track was very soggy and even avoiding the previous
tracks did not help, put it in low four and was able to rock it out shifting
into 1 and reverse very quickly. Also had to boost the engine a little bit,
revving with the clutch in then popping the clutch to get some extra power and
we made it!
Also saw a cheetah, that
old decrepit female that was the first cheetah I saw. This was nearly the same
spot too, right on the road that leads to our driveway. That cheetah must be
ancient.
Elephants in camp all
last night, kept everyone awake with chewing, crashing, stepping on branchs,
pushing on trees, pooping and farting. Everyone v. groggy today at breakfast.
Bahahahaha I love it! Pooping and farting elephants keeping you awake. I finally got earplugs in properly so little cat isn't keeping me up anymore. (Apparently they aren't supposed to stick out of your ear at all). She is learning to sit quietly and wait by her food bowl while I get out her food! Also I'm jealous of your developing driving skills. No more mud at the bamboo farm to get stuck in! Just lots of ticks and 90+ degree weather. :P
