Woke up at 12:30 a.m. again, but after checking emails and downloading photos, I was able to nap a bit again. Work for animal platters starts before 6 a.m., for which I was awake and able to help.
The truck had gone to get some produce - the bruised outdates from markets that they donate for the animals. There is competition for this produce, but Twala gets a fair share.
The platters are very specific to animal and to content. They vary over the days, but ensure balanced nutrition.

Mid-day siesta.
Monkey at my window, trying to find a way in.
He's a tall boy!
Aha - success?
Some live action.
Egyptian geese.
Red-faced ducks.
Turkey or unicorn?
Pulled over during my ride back to Harare. Poor Sam the driver was in quite a panic. Can you see the problem?
Corner of sticker curled up behind rear-view mirror. Riiiiiight.
$20 later to the "nice" policeman, we were on our way. I got dropped at the Bronte Hotel and did my long-overdue laundry, then washed myself of all those days of rural Zimbabwe. It was a dream, but I was ready to be cleaned up. Once done, I fell into a heap in my bed.
A few hours later, the rest of the team arrived and we had dinner. They are nice guys and I hope this will be a great experience.
Back to bed and a long, hard sleep.
