Adventures, Masinga Dam Style

So much for not getting sick, ever since we got back from Masinga Dam, I have slept in my tent and been antisocial with only my sickness for company.

While I was sick, I remembered the good times we had in Masinga Dam.

Our safari was awesome! The Mutatu that was to pick us up at 6 am, didn’t get to us until 10 am, it had to come from Nairobi, a good 4 hours away. While waiting for our ride, I was very tired! Sleep hadn’t happened for me the previous night. I hadn’t been smart enough to bring a thermarest with me, so my back wasn’t happy with me or the rocks grinding into it all night. Also, the resort had set up floodlights around the camp. I’m guessing to keep the animals away. These lights weren’t so much a problem for the sprinters, as their tents were thick and impenetrable as for our light REI models. It was like the sun was shinning on us all night long.

The safari was really cool. We managed to see some zebras, an elephant butt and some giraffes that were super close. On the drive, we got stuck trying to go back country to skirt around some major mud. Thanks for pushing us out boys.

We watched some of the sprinting events and then headed back to our home at Savage Camp.

Upon arriving at home, sweet home, I slept. I’m pretty sure that I got dehydrated and that that was where all my problems started. I woke up a little while later to discover that I had missed dinner, so I took some Tylenol and passed out again.
