Because I'm volunteering I get the great benefit of doing a few touristy things for free when I'm not working. For example, right across from the village is Monkey Land, Birds of Eden and the Elephant Sanctuary. I've been to Monkey Land and Birds of Eden and they were both really fabulous!
In Monkey Land, the monkeys aren't in cages so they can run right up to you. You're not allowed to touch them or feed them, but you can get pretty close. There are all different kinds of monkeys to see. There was also a really neat suspended bridge that we walked across. The monkeys make the craziest noises! I would never have thought the noise I was hearing was monkeys! There are also a lot of baboons running around everywhere. And I don't mean Monkey Land, I mean literally everywhere- in the streets, in the fields, everywhere...
Birds of Eden was also really neat. I saw some crazy looking birds and again, they're all flying everywhere (no cages) so I got some pretty close pictures. I can't wait to be able to upload the pictures to my computer to share them with all of you. I don't have the cord to do it though, so I have to wait until I'm home.
The one thing I am doing that has nothing to do with volunteering and isn't free is bungy jumping. I'm going tomorrow morning at 10am and my stomach already hurts! It's the world's highest bridge to bungee jump off and when you spring back up and fall again, it's the second highest bungee jump! Crazy huh?? It's called Bloukrans if you want to look it up. It's 710 feet high!!! Wish me luck!!!
