And a man who loves his work !!



...the locals are almost pathological about fire !!!

And with that it was back into camp the looong way around. Arrived back late afternoon just on Beer'Oclock ... We had planned to go out the following morning and take a Duiker for meat (as a local official was pestering for it).

After beers, dinner (with a nice bottle of South African red) and some more beers we all turned in.... I slept well though I was woken many times during the night by the bloody baboons going off about something....

...... so just before light the bloody baboons woke me !!! And I can confess my head was a little foggy....

After a stretch and a walk around I stuck my head in the sink and wandered out to find coffee....!!! The camp was very quiet at this point (Sunday morning but that is not a real factor)...Jake was already about and had put out hot water and Boet and met at the coffee jar LOL !!! With mugs in hand we went and stoked the fire and sat down, I can't say we were having a lot of conversation more taking in the early morning and heavy mist that was hugging the river....the next bits are a bit blurry but I remember him asking if the Baboons had woken me and us both having a bit of a complain about them... then he said something along the lines of "F#ck LIONS"....
