Thoughts on Africa

Claire suggested that I should keep a diary while me and Nigel are on our trip as she thought it may be interesting see what I think (not being african), so here is my first entry.

I haven't seen or done much as it is only my second full day but I find it quite amusing how all of the white africans like to speak in the 'African' accent, even for the most random things. The landsacpe and bush of the farm is nothing like I expected, pretty much every tree has metre long thorns! lol The lodge and stuff is amazing! I love the stairs and have told nigel that he is going to have to build me some like that when we convert the barn ;) 

I am incredibly pleased that i have not seen a single spider yet!!! hehe Although I have seen alot of cool wildlife already, the two giraffe that i saw were surprisingly small, i expected them to be much taller. I was also quite surprised at how i am reacting to the breaking off of a leg that i witnessed and other such grusome (not sure if that is the right spelling of that word) things.

Not much else to comment on at the moment but i'm sure there will be much much more to tell in the next few days :D
