Saturday 26th June
We hired some bikes this morning so we could go for a ride around. The bikes were in a dubious state and it was only 15 minutes before my back wheel buckled so badly that the bike was no longer rideable, so i spent 45 minutes walking back to the campsite. When i returned they tried showing me some other bikes, when i saw the first ones front derailer sitting between the rear wheel and the frame i decided it would be a stupid idea to take out another bike as precisely the same thing would happen again. I decided to head out on foot and i walked down to the lake and up to hells gate national park. When i got back we went to Joy Adamson’s old house for afternoon tea. Joy is probably the worlds best known conservationist for her books written during the time she raised a lion cub called Elsa. Her books made her very wealthy and she used her wealth to help other animals and help take care of the environment. Unfortunately she was murdered by one of her ex employees and her husband was shot by a poacher. still their legacy continues on.
