As today is Saturday it's a day off for the volunteers. A couple of the girls have been here for a few months already (3 weeks is viewed as very little time to volunteer apparently!) so the five of us went to a spa they had been to before. It was an unbelievable 5 star resort, I can't really explain it but I'll put photos up when I can. We stayed there all day, had an amazing salad that almost got stolen by some Vervet monkeys. Apparently you're supposed to squirt them with water or catapult them with twigs to de-humanise them but they are just so ruddy cute I couldn't do it! Mummy, I fell asleep in the sun on my front and burnt my bum again, luckily not as bad this time!
We came home and had dinner and are now all chilling out. It's not particularly safe to go out in the dark so after about 7pm we stay at The Trust. There is a bush baby in an enclosure in the garden, it's unbeliveable adorable! It puts as much of itself throuh the bars for you to stroke as it can because it loves being petted. However, it makes the most outragous noises! There are a couple of wild ones that come to visit him and when the three of them get going it's awful, they sort of sound like babies crying-not nice!
The baboons in the garden are very large, I mean like the size of me! Aparently they like to come in the house, especially the kitchen and when they do you just have to leave them to it. The Colobus, Vervets and Sykes you can scare away but the Baboons are huge and mean! There is also a house cat called Nala who just meows at everyone and everything for no reason, not a big fan of her! There are geckos everywhere that are sort of translucent so you can's see them well on the white walls.
Tomorrow is another day off, going to try and get my luggage back!
