February 6

Last nights sleep was not the best. At almost midnight I heard a loud flapping noise in the curtain above my bed. It was hitting against the window and making loud biting sounds. It fell down and slammed against our nightstand. I turned my torch on to see what it was and it came onto my canopy. It was a massive beetle. About 5 inches long. It started crawling between the small crack in my canopy and I started wacking it with my water bottle which made it latch on tighter. I was up for a while flipping my light on to see if it had crawled away yet! We had our first morning game drive. We saw cheetah, hyena, lion, zebra, impala, and buffalo. The rest of the day was all photo class with Paul. We painted with light this evening outside. I tried to take some lightening shots as well, only got one crummy picture.
