20.11.2018 first day at buffelsdrift game lodge

This morning I woke up at 04:15 to get ready and eat some breakfast. Of course while I wad getting ready I woke up my roommate aswell but she already wasnt my biggest fan so it doesnt matter.

I ate some croissants with milk that I bought yesterday. Then I brushed my teeth and packed everything. At 5 craig walked in and was happy to see me ready.

We drove through the city for about 20minutes and then arrived at the intercape bus station. I said goodbye to craig and made my way to the bus that would take me to the stop George in about 6 hours.

We stopped twice but it had started to rain so I stayed inside the bus.

20minutes late we arrived at George here 'Lu' waited for me to drive me to the buffelsdrift lodge.

After a while were I did shortly fall asleep we arrived at the lodge in oudtshoorn. Lu drove me to the tents were I met mariné she was one of the coordinators and showed me around.

My tent was pretty big since it was for 4 people. However there were only 2 other volunteers here and they both had their own tent aswell. 3meals were prepared daily by our chef Whitney. There is a tent with the kitchen and benches next to the our sleeping tents.

It was a lot colder and quieter here than in namibia. After the little tour mariné went back to the main camp. I took a shower, a quick one, because just like with the other tents the shower was outside and there was a not to friendly wind blowing which made this a very cold experience.

I stayed and got settled in my tent, after a while and in the middle of the rain the other volunteers came. Leah & Larissa from Germany they have both been here a while and are enjoying it so far.

We talked a bit and played some cards, it was a quite relaxing evening.

I brushed my teeth and got ready for bed, I need a lot more clothes and sheets here since its pretty cold and windy. Bzt we got an 'electrical heat beds' which should warm up quite nicely.
