Today
is 24th December, we didn’t go anywhere and decided to relax at the
camp. After breakfast we decided to walk to the reception to book for one more
night at the camp. As our campsite was the farthest from the gate it took
almost an hour to reach the reception. I also bought some souvenirs from there.
The return to the campsite was more strenuous as it was close to noon and the
temperature was at it maximum. Still there was some nice breeze to cool as down
a little. We took almost an hour again to reach back to the campsite, a good
exercise. Afternoon we dozed off in our tent, which was hot inside. But the
mild breeze helped again. As it is Christmas eve Bru called home using our
satellite phone. I called one of my friends back home to say that everything is
ok so far. Before leaving home I left the route map with more or less
approximate dates with my friend so that they can raise alarm when I don’t show
up in the designated spots in time. Just a safety backup, which I do for all my
roadtrips.
I
thought of calling Gela, and then decided against it. Though it hurts, it’s not
worth I guess. Wished it was different. At night I prepared the campfire. We
had chicken and some chocolate that we bought from Hentis bay. Some barbeque, a
dessert, and cold beer around campfire, under the stunning African skies; what
a way to celebrate Christmas in the wild, we simply loved it!!
