Day 3
Full day in Krugers park
Good mornjng!
SAUBONA!
I survived my first camping night.
Extremely cold
Open air jeep
Driving fast 10km
In the bush to have breakfast at the other camp
Very early
There was a monkey in the jeep
Iii
No street sign here
Now we had a quick normal breakfast.
Well their poached eggs are funny but eatable.
Rush to pick up another couple and drove an hour in an opened air jeep.
Cold very cold air
Blankets
To Kruger spark
Where I payed
And started our full day there.
Our entry in Kruger's park
Whith a Very rare white lion.
On the street followed by 2 yellow ones.
size of my dog.
But the way they walk is very cool.
She spotted the lion.
Oups!
Too cool
Again all alone to see all this.
I kept the mirror to show you we are close to the animals.
Some side roads we take
Too cute
So majestic
And this one was tall.
Females elephants gather together with children make always alone.
1 green tree
Ils sont rapides les pacochères.
Grabbed a pizza coke zero
Kept some for late night snack.
Ici il faut payer
1 coke zero
1 pizza
20.00 je crois
Autour du resto vegetation
They burn the grass
To have the vegetation grow back
But animals get dirty
Wonder if they hurn their paws
Hugging zebra too adorable.
All of them hugging but beware of their kick.
Not too many baboons
So you have to spot animals in this not easy task.
no food for giraffe
The elephants riped all the trees ....
This is why jeeps have to stay on roads not to drive over very limited food here
Nap time for our lions too cute.
Baby elephant and his mom.
We arrived at another camp
Lightning thunder rain
name it!
FUCK!
After such a beautiful I always have to pay for a little fun.
Need to walk down 1.5km 3km dont know it felt like it in the dark
in the jungle
Drsgging our suitcases in the dirt sometime on a kind of rock side walk wherr you turn your ankle.
Its pitch black we.didnt get to open pur suotcases so the flash light is inside
We have just the walker staff guide flash light to light us
I sure am not happy
It was very Scary
You dont put girls that far
When I saw how deep we were and how far away from reception camp with all wild animals I was not happy to be here all wet in the middle of fucking no where
This wasnt right
A tent with plywood door!
Oh no!
Not only that
1 plug to plug all my stuff
I was just furious and tired
There was no way I will get out of there to walk all the way up
eat and to shower
So I ask them to bring me my food and some extra chargers.
Theybhad none.
When they came to deliver my food, I told them I had to go up to the lodge cause I could not charge anything in there.
I was still furious not tk be able to charge my stuff.
I'm here on a photography safari everything is dead.
Powere bank
cell phone
camera
Shit!
what if something happen to me.
They should provide real stations to chargr at lodges and warn people before hitting down therr in th3 dark far away frok the principal lodge and washroom.
So I went back up with the owner and now cold meal.
Cold pork chop and the famous South African ref sauce with tomatoes.
I Charge my power bank and they give me a terrible wine to compensate.
Not very happy
I paid to experiment
Glam camping
Not a lumber jack camp
No, worse:
A boot camp!
DraggIng my suitcase under the rain and thunder was what made it worse and scary.
And it was again very cold in Africa!
I went back down with the owner but
I could not ran away from here...
So went inside my tent and with little charge of my equipment there stuff wwas useless after all that time I had like 20%
I called home on whats app tk release some tension.
A few insects here and there
Some noise outside too
Pouring rain and thunder
Fuck!
I wanted camping
I got camping
But...this one was not glamourous.
I PeeD in the plastic bag , I had pUt insidE the garbagE bucket.
Layered clothes on top of me CAUSE I was freezing.
And slept with light on on top of the bed shert afraid to find bugs inside or a snake.
I was freezing but so exhausted i finally managed felt asleep
All ready dr3lrssed up for next morning excursion
With all my clothes on
It was bloody cold.
I had summer clothes for africa: nylon pants wet nylon pants, light tshirt.
So put my Coton pants and my 2 jackets on.
Felt asleep on top of my blanket esiting for charger to charge.
Freezing
Shivering
Shivering in a dangerous stage of hypothermia
(cause of my thyroid my temperature drop really fast it could be life threathening if no one watch over me.)
Than I heard the buzz of whats app this is what save me.
My boyfriend whats app me just in time.
Luckily cause i was going down...
I do that often BUT
Shivering and so cold and did not want to go under blanket.
So he talked me into it luckily cause I could have die of hypothermia.
He saved my life.
I did not bring my heat blanket or a fleece to bring back my temperature
But with scarf over my hair I covered my head under the bed sheet.
Hoping to warmed up.
Without my boyfriend called I was going to die here of cold not by being eaten by a lion.
I Woke up several times to charge a bit of stuff.
Heard the rain and some animals.
Slept very little something was scrstching the tent on top.
Got up to be ready at 5 not sure time but I was out and ready and not happy to see black bugs in my bed.
The problem is everywhere you arrived at night in the dark its seem very bad cause you dont know wherr you are going
Do that before you go...pratice...
Adding the fat you could.get hit by ighthning cause.the handle.of yournsuitcase is in metal.and that.a wild animal can attack you from anywhere.
Cant think of a better scenario of hell.
I dont even do that in my own backyard walking outside at night.
In the morning, its stull dark at the time you wake up.
Yes it was very far
But yes I repeat very far..
So we went for our morning bush walk.
The guide with a riffle and bullets in hand was waiting for us.
Was not empress of the walk.
Insect talk for an hour
did not see any wild animals
Beside animal shit.
A ripe off
Too bad during 5he day at sun rise the camp look not to bad.it even have a swimming pool
We had breakfast near water pound with tilapia jumping

I decided to call master card to cancel.it.guess what they cancel my credit card.
That was the worse that can happenrd to you and now it was to dark to go around in Johannesburg looking for hotel room.
Marriott hotel manager talked to me but the clerks were really bad.
So i said fine will hang in the restaurant cause its now 10 oclock have no place to go and after when the restaurant closes, I will be on the street.
I knew they had 2 cancellati9n so dont give me this lie
I went to eat
And they finally arrived with a room key.
They had better cause I saw those 2 ladies changing their departure with my very own eyes.

Went to bed exhausted.
