Sara travel adventure of the week:
I spent almost two weeks camping on a small island in the Zambezi River (Zambia). Hippopotamus, giraffe and ubiquitous crocodiles surrounded the area and my tiny tent. I had brought a supply of food from a village prior to embarking to the island. I decided to cook the last of my potatoes for lunch. My stomach rumbled in anticipation of the hearty meal. As the potatoes were boiling I left for a few moments to collect branches for firewood. I returned to a crime scene.

My pot was overturned with hot water was spilt on the sandy ground. The potatoes were gone. Who was the thief? There were only four people on the island and I was alone camping on the southern side.

I heard chattering coming from the trees. Up sat a troop of cheeky Ververt monkeys happily munching on my potatoes. I shook my fist up in anger. I had no lunch that day. They certainly made a monkey out of me!
