1st Day

16th April 2011 - My Safari adventure starts

I hurried to Penrith with Lucy and Annie to get a Wally hat- and I sure did! It's ugly but at least I got a flynet attached. Anyhow the coach was supposed to leave at 9.45am but was over an hour late. A lot of waiting time so we all waited in the Plaza. The boys went shopping while us girls sat at Gloria Jeans. Finally the adults called us and said the Coach was getting closer, so they picked us up and drove us to the picking up place.

Finally we got on the bus, I was so excited but nervous at the same time! I mean 41 Lovely kids but who knows how we all will get along? Will I feel left out or will we all be like one big family?

Sara and I sat next to eachother near the other swiss/german chicks Alex and Jana. The whole bus was humming like a big group of bee's all with the same feeling I am sure: Excitement!!!

The weather was cloudy and rainy, not the kind of weather I would prefer to camp in -remember it's a camping safari! Anyhow after a while we got the Wollongong kids on board, finally the whole team gathered. Laura (danish chick) got on here and we shared a 2 mans seat with Sara. A little squeezy.

 It was a long trip to Gundagai but with the most beautiful sunset, really bogan aussie songs and people singing along, it wasn't too bad. People started to have a few naps and I tried but was too full of excitement! -it kept me awake. Around 5ish we got to our first camp.

Layse (Brasilian) who was my tent buddie for the night, and I were the first to get our tents up, after a quick instruction from our driver Mark! -well we must have been listening.

We had dinner at a little café all of us, it was quite nice, I sat outside and it was a bit cold, but not too bad.

Back at camp we played footie but when we stopped playing, people had shower and settled in it got FREEZING!

Amazing that you just cuddle up with whoever that stands next to you even though we don't know eachother, I love that, I love people like that.

Anyhow better get some sleep, I'm off to bed!

the night between the 16th-17th was freezing, my sleepingbag wasn't long enough and Layse found dead creaps in our tents and she freaked out so I woke up and had to remove them! Hilarous!!! She was so scared. and btw. I hate camping, you can hear sounds all the time, it keeps you awake. Let's hope sleeping in tents will get better.
