Day 2: Afternoon antics

After our first lunch together in South Africa (sandwiches, salad, fruit, crisps and yoghurt), we sat down for more hardcore relaxing..by the pool. Some braved the icy pool water again - SL, EH, GM, MW, MA and EB - because they're just crazy. We got some nice pictures by the pool.

We spent ages talking about our initial thoughts, what we're excited about and some hilarious plane antics, which we're sure you'll hear all about. 

One of the assistant Ranger Leaders who is an Assistant Director in the UK has offered to produce a short film for us when we return about our trip. KB showed us some of the camera techniques the leader had given us so we could film each day's activities independently.

We were really excited and got straight to shooting the opening scene... Although we were in fits of laughter, we saw it actually looked really good! We then filmed another scene, 'Take Me Out' style, which was just hilarious (again). 

But the funniest part of the day was definitely when we returned from lunch to find that MG's towel had flown into the pool. And sunk. 

Early rescue attempts failed when we realised, a) it was freezing cold, and b) our qualified lifeguard was busy washing up. Luckily, once our lifeguard had returned, SL saved the day by retrieving the towel. Thank goodness it's quick-drying ;)
