Final Party Night!!

Final Week came around all too quickly and Thursday night was set aside for Final Party Night of this expedition. A chance to celebrate an amazing five weeks together, the fantastic experiences shared by all and the new friends made along the way. Everyone, staff and volunteers, jumped at the chance to go in fancy dress and, after much deliberating, the chosen theme for the night was “Initials”. This meant you had to dress up as something beginning with the first letter of your name. The creative juices were soon flowing and, even with the limited resources available, some fantastic costumes were produced. It’s amazing what you can do with sheets, some old clothes and a bit of imagination! There was a cowgirl, Donatello the Teenage Mutant Hero Turtle, a lion, a Flintstone, an Afrikaner, an armadillo, khaki fever, a tree, a jockey, a snail and a robot to name just a few! We had a delicious game potjie and sat around the braai talking, laughing and having a few drinks! It was a great chance to share one last night of fun in the company of fantastic people in the most beautiful of surroundings…definitely a fitting way to say goodbye!
