Sojourn Part Deux

I am not back in this country for three months and I am already planning the next trip away.

Nope, not heading back to Japan just yet. That’s a bit later.

Andy is goin’ on Safari.

Yep, I am off to Africa to gallivant around with lions and tigers and murderous creatures (oh my!).

Of course, it is pending on whether there is a spot free for me… but I’m ready to go.

So yeah, September 2007 is the date for when I go bush.

Stories I have heard so far:

Building a campfire at night time and watching the elephants gather around you to have a look.

A buffalo running through the campsite, tailed closely by a couple lions.

One man sleeping soundly in his (big) tent, only to be rudely awakened by the giant leopard that had been sleeping in the tree above him… by falling on his tent.

Naturally, I don’t know if people are having a lend of me when they’re telling me these stories… but it sounds exciting nonetheless.

There will be other activities involved, like tracking, which will come in handy when I return home to do my stalk… oh… wait… I’ve said too much.

There will be elephant dung tea!!!!! Um… Yay!

So, basically I will be spending an obscene amount of money to go to a country far away, to hang about with large animals with sharp protrusions that could kill me without batting an eyelid and sit around drinking elephant shit.

All this fun, and more… just to learn to be a better stalker.

Man, it is going to be so much fun.
