Adventure Week!! Day 2




We woke up at 6am for breakfast and climbed up our safari bus and were off to a rainy day on the road. "like a Rolling Stone" would be a pretty good slideshow song for today. We went to Nieznahead which is some cliff but I wasn't dressed well for the weather so it wasn't an awesome experience. More of a yep, yep, okay moment. I just snapped a few pictures and headed back to the bus. I'm on the way to the zipline now and trying to decide if it's worth the money with the sucky weather.
Dustin, our adventure leader, convinced me to zip line and the weather ended up being sunny. Zip lining wasn't exactly as extreme as riding an ostrich or bungeeing but it was a lot of beautiful scenery: waterfalls, rivers, cliffs and i'm really glad I did it.
We arrived at our hostel around 5pm but it looked more like a summer camp. trampoline, swings, mini ziplines and little cabins scattered around a lake.
We got changed into warmer gear and headed to our night game safari at Addo elephant park. Lions!! Elephants and their babies!! Kudu!! Hares!! Owls!!
It. Was. So. Cold. but seeing the lions was a once and a life time experience. Apparently, the guide we were with has only seen the lions on a tour three times in his 4 years working at the park so we felt very honored.
