Michael Kingscote reports having just spoken with expedition leader Tom:
Friday was the day that
they visited Rorke’s Drift and learned about the 2nd/ 24th Foot’s gallant
defeat of the Zulus and the awarding of 11 VC’s. This was an emotional day as
the story comes alive when told on the actual battlefield site. Thereafter they
went to visit the Bead Basket Factory and had a major Braai in the evening
followed by 'Reggie's infamous Fireball hockey'.
Saturday was a transfer day from the Zulu Battlefields to the St Lucia wetlands
Park and Albizia Camp at Umkhumbi Lodge. Arriving just before dinner they settled in and are
now preparing for their Environmental Awareness Course (EAC).
This morning the sun is shining, although it did rain in the night. The boys in the group were up well before Tommy (their very experienced and knowledgeable guide) and looking forward to starting their course.
