And on to Kruger
So here we are on the road again. It seems like each weekend, I’m on a mad rush out of Joburg – and its been a month already that everyday and moment is filled with activity. Now that I think of it, I’ve not had a day where I hadn’t done anything.
Normally, I would think I would be dead against anything like that – and yet there is something about being here that excites me. Maybe its the fact that everything is so new – its south africa and being in africa and that I’ve had little contact or motivation to even get to know this country and continent before. And now that I’m here, the newness is energizing, everyday I’m discovering something. Maybe its the fact that I’m breaking the routine of studying (yes, I’m going to shamelessly admit that I love work) that is making this experience so novel.
Still, I do realise there has to be a balance in this manic living. I think its here, that I truly see that -it’s because of my pursuit of this balance that I’m doing this today. Because one day, I would want to be in a single place and truly savour that stability.
Well, that’s the theory for now at least.

Now, we are in the car on the way to the all-famous Kruger Park. Its all dark outside. And the guys in the car are cracking me up with the remarks about temperature control, music selection – I feel like I’m in a mega-club with this omf omf dance music, directions (really, we got the gps and we still discuss about directions), breakfast plans, how to eat our mega sandwich between the 4 of us (yes, its kinda like camping on wheels here with the dinner prep going on while in the car), dissing the driving skills of each other, what to do if an elephant decides to sit on our little jellybean of a chev spark – basically lots of discussions about everything happening at the same time in this tiny space.
Its going to be a good weekend. I just hope to spot some animals. And that my camera has battery left.
