The wilderness beyond: ep.1

We've been fishing for what must feel like four months now and it just keeps getting better. Sean pulled out a monster just before noon and we had it over the open fire for lunch. This is nature at its finest.

A bear came wandering into our camp just before sunrise. I awoke instantly, an instinctive reaction to its smell. That smell. Honey, salmon offal and fear. You never forget that smell. Now this was a most curious thing, seeing as we were camping in Africa, with not a bear in at least a thousand miles! "It must have came from the circus", said Sean. And as we sat there huddled in the upper branches of a giant beechwood tree, belly laughing at his comment, a clown came by and took the beast away.
