Gluwiein, scenic flights and poker nights (where Claire beat the boys and took all. They say beginner’s luck, I say skill...). We’ve done it all – and more: Introducing Odyssey’s first ever African Truck Olympics.
Location: Tofo Beach, Mozambique. Occasion: Rogan’s Birthday. The participants: Athena’s team. Ingredients: Sun, Sea, Sand. And vodka jelly.
An afternoon of fun and games on the beach showed up those competitive ones among us, and those not afraid of breaking the rules... the 27th August had us playing games and doing things some of us may not have participated in for many years.
The Games included a wheelbarrow race, 3-legged race, egg and spoon, sand castle building competition with a twist (permission to destruct other castles), passing balloons between legs, a course to be completed blind-folded, and bobbing for naartjies... with drinks and jelly in between.
But these weren’t your normal relay races - I think the pics show it all. And inevitably most people ended up in the sea. It really was loads of fun (despite what you see!) – definitely one of my best afternoons...
That was followed by cheese and wine and some people even made it out to dance. Unfortunately there was one casualty in the games – Claire sprained her ankle, but that didn’t stop her joining in the fun and we organised a wheelbarrow to carry her down the road to Dino’s, the local party venue. They let us park our wheelbarrow in their garden J
Thanks to Jon and Jas for their and the bar’s contribution to the day, and for everyone’s awesome spirit . Good times.
