This morning we gave the students the choice between the Marungu Hills trek or staying in camp and cooking with the local mamas.
The people who stayed to cook made chapatis and african doughnuts and were taken to Mama Masi's house.
The trek took 6 1/2 hours and we climbed to the summit of the hills where we had lunch with incredible views - it felt like we were on top of the world! We then split into two teams and had a competition to see who could make the best bush shelter, who could start a fire first and shot bows and arrows. We also saw baboons and even a leopards footprint - no actual leopards but they are incredibly rare!
We then walked back down which took an hour and are all back at camp now.
Given as everyone is pretty tired, we will have a quiet evening and will have a late breakfast tomorrow, before we head to the Marungu tree nursery to complete a day of project work. We're not sure exactly what we're doing yet but will find out when Steve briefs us later tonight.
On another note we are halfway through the trip already...it's going fast!!
Will update tomorrow...
Badai!
