Mazuri Lakes 3

This is just random photos and stories to go with it.


Took this photo on the first night where we go separated with the rest of the group. For some reason sun sets look so much better on lakes than anywhere else.

This was taken during our bonfire on one of the islands we docked at. The other one you see is the sparks from burning the pine needles. Since it was at night it was a long exposure picture. All were taken on the second night.

The tree that I cut down is that thin long stick you see on the ground.
It took me half an hour to cut down with my blunt axe. Rather enjoyed the workout.

Perfect positioning.
Rude not to ask first but it really was a kodak moment.

Did I mention that the water isn't exactly clean? Visibility under water is approx half a metre. Everyone baths with soap in the lakes, brush their teeth, wash their dishes etc. Fortunately, the Poles have the decency not to release bodily wastes into the waters, but I am not Polish so umm......nevermind. For the first few mornings I take a bath before we cast of but usually this gives me itches for the rest of the day as most of the dirty water is close to shore (people brushing their teeth in the morning and stuff). Well, what did you guys expect? Its not Taupo with the pristine clear lake that you can drink from, appreciate it. That is why Poles think NZ is paradise.
