buhuuuuuuuu=(
So my time at Harnas is over and I'm really quite depressed! I'm at my hostel In Windhoek and I've just said goodbyt to two of the people I got the closest to! It was hard enough leaving on thursday, but at least the people i had gotten to know the best were leaving with me..but now they're gone too! i miss them so much! Luckily some of them live in Oz, which is my next step, so at least I can see them in a few weeks, and I'll see my Acosta in April!
I really can't believe that a month has passed allready! it's gone to fast! Next time I go to Harnas things will be different, not the same people or animals will be there! I miss chilling with the lions, getting my face licked by cheetahs while listening to their puring, I won't be ablo to play with my sweet vervet monkeys and the two brat baboons!
Although beeing able to go out and eat whatever I want and having a hot shower whenever I want, is great! It really doesn't make up for all the things I don't have anymore! But I'll be back, and it will be great! But for now I have to turn the page and start the next chapter of my journey! Tomorrow morning I leave for Oz,Sydney and I'm so exited about it! I have a loooong plane ride ahead of me, but hopefully I'll get an ok seat and there'll be some good movies to watch!
i've been out buying some souveniers and I'm now trying to figure out how to get them home! Also some people are watchiong zoolander behind me, might watch too! haven't watched tv in a month! haven't missed it either though!
Not much more ti write right now, to sad about my pals=(
Oh well...look for a blog on monday!

lions and cheetahs and ex rugby pros, oh my!
So Sunday was a great day really=) The bushmen are really religious so Sundays are an off day, however not completely off for everyone, 3 per team has to do the foodprep and the rest get the day off=) I was one of the people who got an off day,Yey! I needed it! I spent the morning reading and sunbathing, it is so friggin hot here! Then I spnt some time with the vervets and the dogs=)
At 11 I joined a few of the other volunteers for Sunday church, a very cool experience! There’s dancing and singing and so much more passion then what I’m used to! The priest talked in Africans, but schulks wife,Jo, translated it for us! The church has no door and no alls, so Klippi the giraffe joined us, sticking her head in for some pets, then going around the other side and peeing with her butt towards us, pretty hilarious!!
After church we had lunch and at we all met down at the farm for rugby!! I’ve never plaid before, ad it was so much fun! However I was on the team that was playing against Schulk, Scary!!! W were al like, go for his legs!! But that proved to be quite difficult. Anyway, we lost and the looseres had to drink a shot called jegerbomb, jegermiester, vodka and Tabasco sauce!! Disgusting, but then we all were allowed to jump in the guest pool, our pool is just big enough for two people standing straight this pool however was bigger and so lovely=) I really was just an awesome day=)
Monday was not a good day, there were a few accidents, one guy got bitten real bad by this psycho zebra! He had to go to the hospital and all! It looks like a huge lovebite!!!
Nothing exiting happened to me, but at lunch we were having hot dogs, and all of a sudden one of the ostridges (heather or feather,can’t tell them apart) grabbed a bun and you could see it in her throat!! It was funny to look at, then we tried chasin he raway,but it didn’t work! She stuck her head through the kitchen door and stole leftovers!!
Today, I went on a lion walk with the 3 brothers, 3 hours in the bush only 40 minutes spent on our feet! They are so so lazy!! But got a bunch of good pictures though=) haha
Going to eat lunch now, it so hot, think I’ll have to swim later!

Cast away
So it’s getting much colder now in the mornings, which makes getting up a bit harder..=S And there’s clouds in the sky!! Haven’t seen clouds in weeks! But that also calls for very pretty sun rises=) So Since I wrote you last this has happened:
I have done more farmwork! However, there was a little drama this time!! While we were working Marnus drives up to us, says that there are some wild dogs loos and gives us a radio so we can call him if we see them! So we carry on working for about 15 minutes when suddenly a whole bunch of springboxes race across the bush! And after them 4 wilddogs!
Behind them again there’s a truck that manages to send the dogs our way, and down to the waterhole we’re working on…SCARY!!! So we keep backing away,never turning our backs, as they roam around drinking, playing with the bucket I left and so on! We were probably standing still like statues for ten minutes until to other cars came, the one drove up to the dogs, dropped a piece of meat on a string, and lured them with them!
So we were three people left behind, shoked at what had just happened!
It was pretty cool though=P haha
Then later I went on a baboonwalk, and learned a whole deal about them! They’re quite interesting=) And these particular baboons were quite nice too! No biting or attacking=)
Wednesdays are lappa night days, in the eenign we go down to the main lappa and have a party-theme party which sort of also is a goodbye party for those leaving on Thursday! This time the theme was “cast away”, every one had to dress up as a cast away=) It was great fun, I ripped up a t shirt and my swimming shorts, hairsprayd my hair and put sticks in it! Then I rolled around in the dirt=) I really had a great night, people were really creative and just having fun=)
The day after some people left, none that I had gotten close to, so that was good=) Then I got the opportunity to go to town, bought some more candy and soda and got to see civilization again for few hours, also had a cheeseburger=) Mhmmmm, not as good as I’d hoped though…
Then I cleared a watering hole, cause we’re making a new one!
I’ve fallen for the vervit monkeys, they are so cute and funny1 they jump around on ou, and play with you and stuff=)
Today I got bitten by Martha the youngest lion cub, she’s a real princess that one! Get’s food on a silver platter!!
I’ve also got a blister on my finger from making necklaces and bracelets, I was just minding my own business making one the other day, and in the last 2 days I’ve made 8! Everyone wants one, it’s pretty cool though, that they like them and all=)
I’m also sunburnt, my heals are cracking and there are a lot more bugs out now then there was one week ago!
We got 8 newbees today, one Danish guy who’s 21, he’ll be my new target=P haha
Oh, and there just arrived a new puppy=) a blond lab, and it’s the most adorable thing ever!!!! Whenever I see it, I run over grab her (Leila is her name) and cuddle her for hours!! I also found goeters (my favourite old cheetah) weakness, he loves being rubbed behinf the ears, and scratched on his cheeks and nose!!
The to ostridges heather and feather, keep trying to get into our kitchen, every time I see them, one of them is being pushed out the kitchen door!
My back hurts and I over ate, going to bed now=)

farmwork!!
Farmwork day today!
So today I had to do farmwork! Farmwork varies from day to day, and today it was weeding out all the bushes surrounding the waterhole near our camp! We also had to clear al the stones that were there and put them around the wateringhole. That was ok work, I got to listen to my ipod and it was not so hot out either. Unfortunately we got another task halfway trough our firt one. This was much worse! There are to new baboon enclosures that we needed to clean! Take out all the leftover wires, all the logs and trahs, and it was soo hot=( It was awful!!
We got chicken burgers for lunch=) So good, yum! After lunch I went on a baboon walk which was really nice. We took them out into the bush, and they plaid around the trees, and it was so nice to watch=) I also learned a great deal about them from Marnus, our “leader” who has a birthday today, he turnes 27=) So we made a card and banner, and everyone pitched in for beer for him=P haha
So I’m reading The Notebook, and it is so lovely!! Im really enjoying it, but it’s really making it worse being 48 girls!!! Ohh, but I saw this pretty cute guy by the guest pool today, unfortunately working guest cant really bee with the gust! Oh well, I can look=) haha
So dinner soon, and we also get cake!!! Yey, the cake here isn’t that good though, I make much better cake=) haha
I’m covered in dirt, though I had a tan..NO!
I spent some time with the vervit monkeys today, they are so cute, running around, jumping on you, grooming you! And they are so cute, when I’m grroming them they sorta fall asleep and lay on their back so I can rub their tummies =P haha
Anyway, got to go!

Olympics
Ok, so what has happened since Friday??
We got a bunh of newbies,3 more Norwegians one more Kathrin and one guy! Booooring!!!=(
Sleepout was so fun though!!! We got some mattresses and some old sleepingbags and went in to the encloseur, and the minute I lay down my mattress one of the chetthas was on it puring and licking my face!! So adorable and sniky! She only wanted my mattress and sleepingbag! But I got a small corner and enough sleepingbag to cover my feet=) There were a tottall of 4 cheethas on the five of us! All puring and licking,haha.
But there was sooo many noises, pigs screaming,irds chirping, sheep bhaaing and so on! Off! But I got a little sleep anyway, and the only part of me that froze was my nose!!
I think I will do it again, but not for a few day, need some sleep!=)
I went on a lion walk with the 3 brothers today, they were all playing around and attacking the dog,eachother and us the entire time!!! But they know not to use their claws. Also, we just shouted “Han” and that stopped them from jumping on us! The one newbe guy got srathed though…never turn your back on them!!!
Yesterday we had Harnas Olympics-and we called our team “Harnas Hooligans”.
We did sack race and egg race like we do on 17th of may in Norway.We did toug of war, but the rope broke! We also had dung spitting contest=P Everyoe had to take a piece of sprinbo dung in their mouth and try and spit the farthest! The dung didn’t taste much=)
Then the last task was one person had to be in the pool where there werer bunches of nuts and one person had to run between the team and the pool with one nut at the time trying to fin the one that fit the bolt the team was holding.!
We didn’t win=(
Later I had to do foodprep with the newbies, quite interesting that I am teaching the newbees what I learn not even a week ago!!
I also walked the babies again, but really it wasn’t a walk, they walked five minutes, then found a tree and laid dow. So I laid down on one of them, and there we staid the entire time=P The lions are really just like big cats, so cute=) I can’t quite belie hat I get so much responisibility, and so much time with the animals.! And I never thought I’d be walking lions, definitely not sleeping with me head and arms around them!!
We had stick bread and barbeque on Saturday, sooo good=) We get quite a bit of bread here, not good for my body!!!=( and it’s like boller bread=P haha
I really want Norwegian chocolate,and I want ice cream and a cheeseburger!!
The mosquitoes are making an appearance latly, so I using the spray like perfume, just spraying and spraying!! But they also have these really nasty big flies here, that bite!!! I hate them!!! It’s spring here now, so we set the time an hour later and now we have to wok an hour more wbtween breakfast an lunch..
And it’s getting so so hot here!! I melting!!
And their out of coke, sprite and fanta!!!=(
Other than that, everything is good! Had a slight fallout with my team leader, women!!!! They get on my nerves!!
Oh, and yesterday, we could see the milkyway and the sky was covered in stars!! I’ve never ever seen so many stars! It as amazing!!!
There’s an evil squirrel running around camp attacking people, so everyone is really scared of him. His name is Godzilla! Once he’s got his eye on you, you won’t get away!!
Anyway, I need a shower, I’m covered in dirt and my hair is filthy!!
Found a way of saving money on the internet thing, I write my blog on word, then I connetct copy and paste!! Wola 15 minuts turned to 3!!=)
So u might here more frequently from me now! However no pictures until Australia, for some reason either the internet is to sow or something, it just wont upload, not to face,blog,hotmail or snapfish=( Bummer
Oh, and I also now am in charge of the pythons,so facinating=)
Going to shower now!!

So u might here more frequently from me now! However no pictures until Australia, for some reason either the internet is to sow or something, it just wont upload, not to face,blog,hotmail or snapfish=( Bummer
Oh, and I also now am in charge of the pythons,so facinating=)
Going to shower now!!

Lion Roars!
Imagine waking u and falling asleep to the sound of lions roaring! That's what i do!!=)
It's freeeezing during the night and nice and toasty during the day!My task range from feeding cheethas and baboons to walking lions and helping on tours! I'm up eveeryday at 6 wide awake because i go to sleep at latest 8!!
Theres a lot ofworkto do around here, and you get a lot of responsibility right away!!
I have quite a few bites and scratches already, but nothing major!!
In my fri time, i play with lion cubs, sleep rest with 8 month lions-litterally laying on top of them, while they also have a siesta! I also play with the 20 dogs and cats, the zebra and cow on the lawn! There are also 2 crocodials that don't really move a lot!
Yesterday we were out i the bush learning about survival scills, really cool!!!
There are so many amazing peole here, 5 Norwegians and 3 kathrins!! Cooool!
We are 27 people now, 25 more are arriving today!! With the 2 guys arriving today, there are a tottal of 5 boys,the rest are girls!!!
The guy runing this place-Sculk- is a 3 thime world cup rugby chmpion!! And pretty cute!=P
Every day, i have to prepare food for the animals, dig my hands through disgusting leftovers and cut up donkey meat! I'm starting to get used to it now!!
Tonigt me and 4 other friends are sleeping out with 4 cheethas- i was told to bring etra matresses and sleeping bags because the heethas push us of and take them for them selves!!
The best sound in the world is the cheetahs puring!! it's amazing!! I'm so privilaged to be here!! No zoo,no park, no nothing will ever be able to compete!!
i'm filthy dirty every day, all day and i Love it!! The showers are cold except for the evenings, but then my hair gets all static!!
i'm out of underwear and socks! So need to do some londury!!
We get fed at 7, 12 and 6 and thats all!! The food is actually pretty good! And on wednesdays there's always a party and really good food down at the main farm where the guest stay-it's a goodbye party for everyone leaving the next day! Each thursday people leave, each friday new people come!
When i get out of the shower or toilet there just might be a giraf or horse or springbok outside !!!
This is so amazing!!!!!!
time to work!!

Too much to say!!!!
So I don't know where to begin!!
Monday was great and exhausting!!
First i wnt on a walk with the four babie lions (8 months and big brantz!!!) well we got drpped off a bushman church in the bush, and the church has no walls or door, so thelions ran in and strated to fight over a blanket! and hat's where they stayed the whole hour we were supposed to be walking!! They are very cute though!!
Then we had fear factor-whih was aweful!! We didn't get lunch and we had to eat the leftovers that we feed the baboons, plus cat and dog food!!! Ewww! then we had to drink sour milk that we give the hyina, then we had this task where we got a riddle,thw riddle waas the name of a dog which we then had to run and get, run back with and then find a bottle at the bottom of a green pond! then one member had to drink the contens whih was really eeky!!
Then we had to go in to the baboon cage and dig up a bottle of coke which we had to drink and then get out!! It was scary!
Then we were driven out to the wild cheethas, given a donkey legg and told to bring it to the other side of the encloseur! There were over 20 heethas in there!!!! Tht was the final task! my team didn't win=(
Luch time now!!
Tomorrow I'm sleeping out with the four tame cheeethas=) Can't wait!!!!
