Baboons in the kitchen, school waiting for very late transport, another group arriving, thirsty as the desert, bags to pack for holiday, phones ringing. I love those calming days at camp.
The backseat of the Hardie car will be more home for the next 10 days. I'm off on the Garden Route with my boss and her husband manana (tomorrow). Maybe I'll be missed. Maybe my chocolate chip cookies will be missed more! Along with normal vaca packing comes the stress of African packing--string tops, jumpers, medical kit, passport, coffee plunger, kitchen sink. Sure, you're thinking it's all to much, but who knows when I might need a screwdriver, and yes, I am taking that coffee plunger. Paddy will just have to suffer with instant coffee while I'm away!
We are planning to cruise the open road and bed down in a few hostels along the way. I have to say, the Hardie clan seems very cool and laid back about the whole thing--they probably packed tie-dyed shirts for the trip and I'll see the uber-cool side of the big J.H.!!
You can chat with me the 27 of Oct. Until then, wish me luck with the elephants, greenery, and backseat of the car.
