Quick Post!

Hi All!!

Well its been a nice fw weeks staying in luxury at Broadlands Farm, with Pat Cavandish O'Neil. I had my own bathroom (huge) and bedroom (huge), I got my bed made, room tidied, laundry done and 3 home cooked meals served to me each day! It was lovely!
I enjoyed spending time with the 38 dogs, cats, baboons, monkeys, parrots, chimp, cows, donkeys etc. But did have animal hair all over me all the time! Sharing the dining room with a baboon (bingo) was a funny experience, he would bang on the windows and shout until someone fed him some tea and toast!

Monkey Town was ok, there were already 3 volunteers working there so I decided to only work in the morning and enjoy myself reading my the pool in the afternoons (bliss). Monkey Town had some ready good parts to it, but also bed parts - some of the animals were not cared for properly and the owner was just interested in money. But the volunteers are working hard there to improve things. I got to work with lots of different animals which was great, I got groomed by monkeys, pooed and wee-ed on by everything and covered in mud most days. I was good fun!
I came back with a nice souvenir - a nice big scratch down my forehead from a gibbon!

This is just a quick post as I'm rushing out now to do a Cape Peninsular tour, should be good. Then flying out to East London tomorrow, to start my new project at an Xhosa Rural School and staying at Bucaneers backpackers. I'll update with more when I can.
