Another relaxed day, good for a Sunday. We packed up the coach bus at 11am but hung around the Gateway mall until 1:30pm, utilizing the last of free wi-fi we’ll get for a while. Then we departed around 2pm and arrived at our next destination a little after 3: Valley Trust Day Backpackers. I still have no idea what the area's actual name is. Maybe it's a rural secret.
It’s like we’re at school, a flashback to freshman year Bouvè LLC in Stetty West! Haha In my room we have 4 beds for myself, Morgan, Lindsay, and Gabby. It’s different but hey, I’ve gone camping before and I’ve stayed in not-your-typical-dorm-room before so I think we’ll be fine for 2 nights. No biggie. It is pretty comical though: the one outlet in our room doesn’t work, there’s no soap in the bathroom, we don’t know what kind of meat we ate for dinner, and in one “bathroom” there is a toilet & bathtub and in another next to it is a shower & sink. Lol, talk about a change in scenery. We can’t really walk around…our tour guide pretty much told us to stay on the grounds of our new place.
But we did make some new friends! Outside there is a basketball court where 4 boys were playing basketball. Since we had some time before dinner, Morgan, Gabby and I decided to be friendly and ask if we could play. They all ended up being the same ages as us and we started playing with them. It was especially funny because it was basketball…but with some new rules and without some usual ones haha. But it was a lot of fun—we were even working up a sweat a little. For some reason, they seemed to only remember my name so while we’re playing they kept calling “Cassieeeee! CassiEEEE!”. So funny. Especially since I would miss the ball half the time when they passed it to me, thanks to my great basketball skills. Then after a while some other girls came to play and after an hour we had a pretty big game going. It was getting really intense! We finally decided on a stopping point and MY team won! Ohhhh yeahhhh!
We told the guys that we would play again tomorrow afternoon. So yay for making friends in Africa! :)
