Monday morning walk

At 7:30 this morning we all left in the land cruiser and were dropped off what seemed like the middle of nowhere and began our two hour walk on a barely discernible trail. Not to worry. Simone from the lodge was our guide. It was an easy hike compared to what we did around the Cape. Finally, over the next hill we saw, in the distance down below, a simple shepherd's hut. When we reached it a table was spread out for us with a delicious breakfast. Eggs were prepared over an open fire. Giant eucalyptus provided shade. Really spectacular. This was at least nine kilometres from the main lodge. 
Right now we are resting on lounge chairs under a tree. We are getting a bit tired so probably good to rest for a bit. Later on today, at five, we do another game drive.
