Unfortunately, both Saturday and Sunday were kind of misty and not beach weather, so we mostly hung out at the hostel and, as you can probably see, relish in the presence of working internet. However, it was an excellent move for me to come into town because I was able to go to the mall and buy a new digital camera; FINALLY I'll be able to start taking pictures of all the incredible things I've been seeing and doing. Furthermore, it was good to have a couple beers for the first time since Cape Town. With all the physical work we're doing at Kwantu, with the summer sun beating down on us the entire time, a good beer at the end of the day or dinner would be a Godsend. However, Kwantu is owned and managed by a devout Muslim family, and alcohol is completely prohibited at camp.
The hostel here is really neat, right on the beach, and is a hippie backpackers / tent camp. About all 25 of us came in, so we've just had a relaxing 24 hours hanging out and enjoying each other's company. Now, it's back to Kwantu and another week of work on the reserve and in camp. Hopefully the internet that's been down for awhile will come back online so that I can continue writing posts (maybe even upload pictures) as they happen and not just all at once when I get back. Stay tuned!
