3 July, Day 20: So, what was that all about??

Woke up feeling much better, still a little weird stomach but on the up and up. Not sure what the heck was up with me yesterday. We’ve organised a massage therapist to come to the hotel. In the morning we repack all our gear and get everything ready for checkout. At 12:45 we have a 45 min massage each and both feel much better by high noon. Chill by the pool a bit before we head out. We arrive at the Roika compound at around 15:00 but the others are nowhere to be seen. Turns out they’ve stayed an extra night. No problem, we setup tent and make some dinner (tuna melts, with avo and tons of cheese). Quick and dirty.

Luca arrives home at around 21:20 and we offer him a Savannah (yes, we really like Savannahs. And turns out, so does he). We chat for a long time about how he got his start, about the economy and the tourism industry etc etc. Most of which I won’t divulge, since it was giving in good faith as “friends”. We organise that we can go see his mines tomorrow. He can’t show us himself but he will organise his driver to take us. All arranged for tomorrow morning, 09:00. We bid Luca good night.

Spend the rest of the evening updating my journal and chatting. Looking forward to a real gritty mining experience!

Highlights: I feel fine. More than fine. Annelie too :)
