Ibiza in Zimbabwe!

On top of Castle Kopge

Jenny and I

I hear you've all been sunning yourselves at home in 18 degrees. 18 degrees?! Is that what warm was to me when I was home?!

So I was the happiest person on this earth on Sunday - no I'm not exaggerating in anyway because Katie got two things that she loves the most in this world...heat and chocolate!!
The sun was blazing we sunbathed, drank, played music (thought I was in Ibiza not Zimbabwe!) and we also did some yoga outside!
We then decided to climb up Castle Kopge (some random pile of rocks which you climb up with ladders), what a stunning view!
And then, what I'd been waiting for...a 3 course meal of soup, fresh bread (and REAL butter!), beef and chocolate tart!! Yes chocolate tart woohoo!!! 2 other vols gave me their piece it wasn't forced I promise!

Some yoga practice (from left to right): Michael, Bridget, Me and Victoria

 Monday consisted of delivering hay and feed to elephant and rhino pens, loading logs and feeding Sables. We also had 2 new vols arrive from Britain. Gale and Michael who are both studying Biology at Bath University and are bird fanatics! Tuesday we researched the rhinos, cleared weeds for the new eclectic fence and believe it or not - Katie went camping! Proper camping I'll have you know under the stars and all. I'd much rather have a comfy hotel room being Lady of Luxury that I am but hey I've become "adventurous".

Our personal room for dinner on Sunday

Wednesday: We walked with the ele's, rolled some wire as we are clearing a fence, found the Eland to take photos and had our Shona evening. We also sadly said goodbye to our Canadian friends Brit and Bridget who are now continuing their Africa trip for another 2 weeks. Michelle and Jenny have gone to Victoria Falls until Monday so it's very peaceful here at the moment!

Tatenda

 And so finally today, I got to go riding as Judy is back from Mozambique. Victoria also rides so I had some company :)
We then filled sandbags to support the dam wall, cleared trees and then rode the ele's home. Everyone is now calling me for tea so I better go!! Love to all xxx
