Today I woke up at 9, just after some of the volunteers left for Addo Elephant National Park. It’s nice to have some peace and quiet for a day, with less people bunched together in the hang out area. We went to the main house, where the owners of Samara live, to watch the South African rugby team play New Zealand. South Africa lost, and didn’t play well (according to the South African fans, since I don’t know a whole lot about rugby). We came back to our living quarters after the game was over, and saw a Vervet monkey on top of the roof where the kitchen/hang out area is with an orange in its hand. The monkeys quickly retreated back into the bush, and we soon after realized that they had snuck through a cracked window, and had taken full advantage of any food in the open. We cleaned up the mess, and went on a short game drive, because we had heard there was a group of giraffe near the lodge. The group of giraffe was so close to our cruiser, and they were so curious as to what we were as well. After our game drive, we headed into town to get some much-needed groceries, since the monkeys cleaned out a fair amount of food. We just got back from town, and are trying to find a couple of hand held spotlights, so that we can do a fun night walk tonight.
