5 May, Thursday Lake Langano
We wake up before sunrise and with our coffee drink in the splendor of our surroundings. Hugo and Andrej try to sleep in, but we’ve developed such a different morning rhythm that they soon join us. With our second round of coffee we discover that our gas bottle is empty! I’m not sure what that means for us, because we bought this one in Syria, but we decided to ask Tim for advice. The decision that we want to stay is unanimous. We do not want to relinquish our little lake paradise where all of us have been energized and replenished.
We have a baby fish-eagle in the camp who is loudly trying to perfect his call, but this far he has not been successful. We have fun watching him as he sits by his nest, loudly calling out and waiting for his parents to bring him food. I manage to take a few good video shots of him trying to call and also when his mom or dad brought him food.
Willie and I went for another long walk and the boys just hang out at the camp where they swim, read and write in their journals. Tim and Miriam come over for a visit in the afternoon and the 4 of us walk over to the hotel at sunset to have something to drink. We have no ‘stove’ with our gas bottle empty so the boys walk to a nearby village to buy us firewood and we cook an improvised version of a beans and rice potjie which tastes not bad at all.
Tim and Miriam brought us dessert – fresh pineapple and we have another wonderful evening around the camp fire. We know that it is time for us to return to our gypsy lifestyle, but we are thankful for the few days of reprieve at a beautiful location.
