In the middle of the experience

We have just passed the middle of the experience here in Polokwane.
While for the project at Peakanyo Cooperative this week is crucial to consolidate the Marketing Plan we are developing to support them in their growth strategy, the last week end was really plenty of activities.
While I was concentrated in project activities, part of the team decided to go and ride horses within the Polokwane Game Reserve.
Participant described the show as extremely exciting (thanks to Caroline to provide the picture).
The brave man riding the horse very close to Rinos is Bob, one of the two team member from Canada (the other is Caroline). You can see more pictures at bobweir.webs.com.
About Saturday basically two things need to be mentioned: some sport and food.
For the first I really appreciated to have the possibility to play basketball with the local soccer team named Black Leopard. They are very friendly and I can confirm they took the right decision when started playing soccer instead of basketball ;-)
For the food, we pacifically invaded the kitchen of Masana Lodge, joining our friends the chef Tshepo (with the Canadian apron and Steven (the barman) with the green tie to cook: pasta aglio, olio e peperoncino, spiced chicken and roasted potatoes. In the picture we have also, from the left: Huan (US/Cina), Daniel (Brazil), Caroline (Canada) and myself.

Sunday was so amazing while zip lining and abseiling. We moved 80km out from Polokwane, toward the mountain side and we discovered a completely different land cape: a lot of water and many, many tall trees substituted the almost dried and flat landscape around the town.
Assisted by two instructor we faced 11 tracks of zip line and one of abseiling. And even if small, I hope you can recognize me in the pictures below.
