instead sam and i watched movies and chilled out, and when the others got back in time for lunch it was clear we hadn't missed out on much at all. the afternoon was meant to be wildlife monitoring but once again many of us were bored of being on the truck for hours and stayed back at camp instead.. turns out that once again they didn't see much.
i guess you might think it's silly that i opted to stay at camp but i love the grounds so much and i was really pleased with my day. i've realised i quite miss having the freedom to do what i like without people directing us on where to go, what to do, when to sleep (we eventually get ushered away from the campfire by the night guards), etc. sometimes it's nice to veg out and relax (:

tu as bien fait de te donner cette journée de congé et ce n'était pas silly , car c'était aussi une bonne chose à faire, et tu as su "t'écouter " au bon moment sans doute. J'imagine bien comme c'est une expérience difficile en effet pour toi de ne pas avoir la liberté de faire ce que tu veux quand tu veux et que l'on te dicte sans cesse tout ce que tu as à faire etc. Et cela reste précieux comme expérience de vie..Et comme tu as choisi de le faire au bon moment, tu n'as pas râté grand chose ce jour-là! bises

How wonderful it is to live in your senses, just for a moment. No noise, no interaction, no electronic devices. Just you and the smells of nature, the sounds of the bush and the colours of the land.
Love, papa
