Stop #3 - Hluhluwe Game Reserve

Hluhluwe Sunset
I actually have service her, its crazy! We came at the perfect time, right when the sun was setting. The scenery was beautiful!

This morning we went to Northwood Boys High, a public high school just for boys. In South Africa, public schools can still charge their students, this one was 25,000 rands ($3,571) a year (7 rand = $1). A lot of people didn't like the school because they said it wasn't fair to the people who couldn't afford it, and it isn't. I thought of it more like the parents just wanted to give their kids the best education. A lot of the girls judged the school and the students right from the beginning and I thought that wasn't fair. They had 15 rugby teams at the school and sent a lot of boys to college and pros for it. It seemed pretty similar to St. Marys or Brother Rice, but public.

After that we spent the rest of the day driving to the game park. After we passed through the front gates, it took another 40 minutes to get to our round houses, talk about the middle of nowhere! But I love it, I already saw a python and a herd of buffalo! We're on our way to dinner now, and I have to get up at 6:00 tomorrow morning to start our safari!
