I feel awful. I'm supposed to be going into a nearby game reserve, Kruger National Park on Sunday. It's HUGE. There are camps there for tourists and we stayed in one the last time I was here with JZAP. This would just be a day trip though. Anyway, I found out that my bank account is frozen until Monday because I never called the bank to tell them that I was going to be here and mom just called them on Friday. It takes a few days to process. So I have to borrow money from Sue. It's only 600 rand, which is a little less than $100, but I don't feel comfortable borrowing it from her. On the one hand, the Kruger trip has already been organized and I really want to go. And I will be able to pay her back anytime after Monday. But I hate asking for money from people who I know and love and who trust me - much less from someone who barely knows me. I mean I'm good for it obviously, but it's a significant amount of money and she has no reason to trust me. I'll be glad when this is all over.
So...the electricity went out and we ate dinner by candlelight. Stephen and Paul cooked outside over a fire and all of the showers were cold as opposed to usually when only the last few are. We were supposed to have Paul's famous pancakes and french toast tonight bit since the stove is electric, that was a no go. Oh well, I'm sure tomorrow will be fun at Kruger...
