Chucked in at the Deep End

We've moved in! Yesterday we moved into our new rooms in the hostel and spent our first night there, it was a bit eery because obviously school hasn't started yet so it was just me and Ashley in this massive building.

Yesterday afternoon we had a meeting with the ladies from the Moriah Center, they're mental. They made me and Ashley dance for them and taught us some SiSwati. Sawubona!

We went to the nature reserve for a walk with Kathy and Richard on the night and saw a warthog, some impala (basically deer/gazelle type animal), a massive bird of prey and some giraffe tracks! Sadly no giraffe though. Afterwards we had a lovely dinner with Kathy and Richard and some of the staff from Sisekelo; they told us lots of stories of people who have been dragged away by crocodiles in the river we have to drive across to get to Injabulo pre-school (eek!) so that's slightly terrifying. Plus, judging by our first drive in "The Almighty Butch" we're not yet at the dodging crocodiles stage with our truck driving skills!

We're fending for ourselves at the moment though, Kathy and Richard left for England this afternoon to visit their daughter in London so we're packed off on a leadership course at 6am Monday morning with the seniors of the Sisekelo High. We'll be trekking and swimming in mud pools until Wednesday, so that should be pretty fun! This is how they choose their prefects, slightly different from the one interview that we had... but I guess it's the best way to separate the strong willed from the weak ;) 

Laters, Kate xxx
