"Injabulo? Preschool? School for small children? Oh, no english? Never mind, thank you."

Today we had our first drive out to Injabulo! We roughly knew which direction it was in so we jumped in Butch and set off. We found the village no problem at all but couldn't find the pre-school! Not many people spoke English so asking for directions was pretty difficult. After a while of driving along dirt tracks a building to our side caught my eye... I'd seen it before, definately. Turns out the village was a circle and we were right back where we started! Damn. Finally a lady saw us and recognised the truck, so she pointed us in the right direction and after travelling down a tiny 'path' we found Injabulo. We thought she was having us on though because all her friends were laughing at us, but I've since realised that everyone laughs at the white girls driving the 4×4.
The school was covered in goat droppings so we're going up on Saturday to clean it before it starts on Tuesday. We stayed there for a few hours and played with some of the kids in the community, they loved doing the limbo and playing basketball! Not so keen when we wacked out the cha cha slide though. :S
Later on we went for a swim at hostel, Ashley picked up a fallen leaf from a tree (they're these massive long black things like sycamore leaves on steroids) and threw it at me screaming 'SNAKE!' I genuinely shat my pants because we've been told about the Black Mambas and they're really dangerous, I felt like a right tit though. I'll get my own back on her in due course. ;)

Wire cars that the boys make themselves - they are honestly so ingenious!
