TOWN

 #GVIfans

We go to town weekly although the groups rotate, so I personally I go to town every two weeks. Town is a very busy day we leave the GVI base at 7 or 7:30am depending upon what the plan is for the day. The day is very full on the first day we started with 4 hrs at a reptile house, there we received an informative lecture on reptiles mainly focusing on snakes and the different types of toxins. We then had a stroll around the park and had a look at the different reptiles which included various, snakes, lizards, turtles, and a couple of crocs. The demonstrator then showed us how the black mamba snake eats and explained how snake moulting works. When snakes undergo moulting their eyes change to a blue tint, there appetite decreases, and they shed a few days later. They are very vulnerable at this stage. We then go for lunch at the marula bar just out of town. The food was very nice. We then get the groceries and snacks we need for the following week. By now it's about 3:30 and we have a 1hr trip home. The day is long hot and tiring.
