Travels in south africa

A long trip but so worth it!

Cos I'm on my way!

I'm on my way back to switzerland after a short visit to germany again. I do love the germans! Everything they do entertains me endlessly! I've had a pretty uneventful day of driving today.

This morning I stopped off to see the castle that inspired disney's castle but was immediately put off by the hundreds of tourists and immense amount of of tour buses! Then the thought of paying to walk around another castle sold me on betting a post card and moving on! Next on my list for the day was lindau. near the corder of switzerland it seemed a good option so here I am, not sure where I'm going to sleep tonight but not going to worry, a solution will be found. I am parked on a pretty quiet street so I might get away with sleeping there. I might have to after this beer! oh right so now I'm sitting near the harbour doing my favorite thing, watching germans walk past. Sometimes life is good :)

Camp life

So I'm back at camp, my posts are less frequent and probably a lot shorter because of this. It just means that I'm having a great time playing around with kids! This last week I've had to climb around in trees with some 13 year olds, making sure they are having a good time! I think I can manage that!

We had our staff orientation last week which involved all of us going on a beautiful hike together and enjoying the warm sunshine that Switzerland (sometimes) has to offer. Next week I'll be dealing with a group of 20 14 year olds going on a 3 day expedition! Bring it on! Hiking and camping at a lake, what could go wrong? I have to tempt fate, its in my nature. I have taken a slight step up in the world and will actually be leading this group of kids so all their problems become my problems. Putting it out into the universe that I'd really appreciate no problems!

Much to my delight I've also been asked to lead another group that arrives the following week! How I'm meant to organise that while up in the mountains is a bit of a mystery to me but never fear, I will conquer this challenge too!

I leave you with a picture of my job...

Campsites :( 29/07/2013

I cheated tonight, I went into a campsite, but I remember why I like wild camping so much, its partly cos its free but also cos you have the place to yourself, its secluded and the other people there are all like minded. So tomorrow night will be back to wild camping
