The Burn!!

Afrika Burns. There isnt really much you can say about it. How do you summarize the burn experience into a blog post. Im not sure its possible. Well its obviously possible, but it will never come out right or be what you want to say. The burn is an experience, and fuck did we experience it.

I was part of a camp called The Succulents. The Succuclents rock. We built a massive dance floor that was shaped like a cactus (its because of sentences like that, that the burn is hard to write about). Our camp sight was super jacked, our crew were amazing, our parties rocked the burn.

More than that? There was the drive up in Olive the car with Louise - we got a flat and i changed the tyre. I know. There was the bike ride with Derry and Will (in their disco helmets)  and their loverly friends. There was Terrance and Oz dressed as Jesus/Moses allowing dinner cooking to turn into an onion chopping competition tv show. There was partying at camp Vuvu, and painting signs on the desert floor. There was driving around the desert on a scooter with Richspice and Dan (an averagely good idea). There was Danna, Tammy, Traz and the rest of the fam. There was the drive back to the N1 with sweet Jill. There were a lot of things, people, art and places which made the burn amazing. Thank you to everyone who was there and everyone who made it what it was.

Nugs and Jules picked me up in Touwsriver. There we drove a crazy 8 hours to Blom and stayed in the Greys dorms. Im happy i didnt go to a boarding school. Today we arrived in Joberg and right now im sitting on Danis bed - her and Claire are shouting at me to get off the computer and go for sushi. So i gotto sign out. Tomorrow we drive to the border and Moz the next day.

Everything good and safe. Missing yall already.

Cheers

ETA: Sushi and sleep.
