Monday, 9 August 2010

Hey everyone back at home. Today was a bit of a jumbled up day here at Binga as the activities and survival had to be changed around because of the forecasted rain for the next few days. The girls were meant to be venturing out on their survival camp out and the boys were meant to abseil but instead everyone did horseriding, wood chopping and some gardening in rotations throughout the day. We are not sure on tomorrow's activities as the weather is going to change everything.

So other than that today was everyone's third horseriding session and by the end of the session most people had ventured out of the horse yards on a short trail ride through parts of Binga's land.

Yesterday was Family Day here at Binga and everyone had a great time with their families. Everyone was so keen and excited to show their families around Binga and tell them some of the things we've done over the past two weeks away from home.

Between 6 and 7pm everyone had time to eat their left over food their families left with them. After about half an hour everyone had almost given up on eating and we were trying to give away the food we just couldn't eat to anyone, staff, friends or just someone walking past you. I've never seen so many people reject lollies and chocolate before!
