never smile at a crocodile
so yesterday was what i call DANGER DAY as many scary and dangerous things happened, which caused me to have a nasty graze n my hip and elbow! how i here you cry did so graze occur¿ well it all started at about5.10 in the morning...
i was asleep (well not that much asleep because Buble the cat came in my tent and woke me up) when everything started at shake, all my stuff was moving and my whole mattress because there was an earth quake!!!! i woke up and got out of my tent when it stopped and me and george who also got up was like woah earth quake!! i had to get up for morning patrol anyway so i stayed up, but turns out it was a 5.1 on the ricktor scale which is quite high considering the dangerous ones are 7. The day continued on as normal and then we all went to crocodile farm, and i hadnt been yet so i was quite excited. When we got there we were greeted by the cutest smallest litter of kittens in the world! omg they were gourgous! and the crocs where all swimming in the lagoon right close to the shore. there were also a few dogs,and thought aww just some random litter of stays i¡ll play with them, untill oliver the camp manager picked one up, AND THREW IT IN THE LAGOON WITH THE CROCS! omg it was horrible they tiny cat that fitted into the palm of my hand was swimming for its dear life, but no the croc got it it swam slowly then snap! it was gone. i was very distressed at this especially when guy and george picked but another one and videoded it being eaten it got out tho buit they picked it up and threw it in again!! they ended up feededing the whole litter of kittens to the crocs, i tried to save one but they found it and threw it in it was terrible because they were so so so cute!
but that wasnt the dangerous part of the day, when we went looking for the crocodile nests at the edge of the lagoon, we bumped into a croc defending her nest, so we had to run past! v scary. after a tiring walk/ run, i decided to have a little rest atçnd sat down in the leaves whilst they dug up the eggs they found. beaing the lazy so and so i am i got lyndsy to help pull me up when iut was time to go, which she did, of which afterwards we saw i had just been sitting on a nest of scorpions! so if i had put my hands down to get up i would have been stung! briefly afterwards a hornet started to chase me which wasnt fun, however it went away and we had to run past the crocodile again on the way bk.
hmmm lunch time we were all starving cos the food took ages to arrive, so we sat and ate our enchiladas, when another little kitten turned up! oh no lucnch time for the crocs too, so they threw that one in, but this time after touching the crocodiles nose two crocs tried to get it however it ran out into our direction where we were eating. The crocs also ran out and everyone got up and legged it as far as they could from the crocodile that was chasing us and the cat! this was when i fell over and grazed my arm and hip and spilled all my enchilladas on the floor. luckily the croc had gone bk in then cos it got the cat but if it hadnt probly would have got my leg or summit. So ive decided i dont like nature, especially the giant crabs that wake me up at night digging under my tent, and the swarms of tiger bees that we have to go through on the boat whilst bird watching...
other then that im still having an awesome time, ive extended my visa so im in the country legally again, well not technically as i shouldnt be working appretly even tho im not getting paid, and i havnt got long before i go travelling arround mexico which is gonna be awesome! i cant think what else ive been up to, appart from going to guad for stephs bday doing sheesha and going salsa. Oh and going to colima where i got ill and fainted cos i was dehydrated, but i missed an awesome party :(
ooh yeah i remember i went to strip club with george, guy, lyndsy and roberto, which was an err experience. the guys all got private dances which they were all pleased about whilst me and lyndsy oohed at the crazy danced they did on the poles whist wearing the biggest heels ive ever seen!
now and then ive been a bit sad missing all you awesome people, but ive started getting very excited for uni which is good and im coming home next month so thats ok. i hope everyones exams are going well, i have to say i dont envy you all right now, but good luck an all. ill try to update more i think the next two months will be quiet exciting so i'll have lots to say! xxxx
