Heya everyone,
me again! Just thought i would let you know of my adventures since the last mammouth email! OK are you ready! he he...
of course i have been coching most of the week mon-fri at the school in the townships, its cool now we can see them progressing! and getting to know them and they know us more makes it so much more enjoyable! some right little characters!!
at the weekends, we have done many things! done some sandboarding! how much fun!! he he, also had the chance to visit the local aquarium place just down the road so that was cool... the weekend after we did Bloukrans Bungy Jump, the highest one in the world :-) 216m off a bridge!! photos will be up on the site asap!
me and fran then decided to head to cape town for a week (as its her last week out here) so we caught a flight from PE to capetown on monday morning got there about lunchtime, and headed straight out on a tour of Robben Island. We had to get the boat over there (obviously with it being an island) and then met our tour guide on the bus who took us roundthe island, we had a chance to look in the high security prison, with our tour guide being an ex-political prisoner there... after the 3 hour tour and look round the shop we headed back for the mainland and had a nice mexican meal on the waterfront of cape town! very nice!
the next day we had booked in for a skydive over cape town, an amazing experience agai the fotos will be up asap! as we hired a car for the day we were able to drive over to table mountain and see the sights from up there, then we headed over to see the penguins at boulders beach, finally ending the day with a meal at the restaurant there! a scary drive back on south african roads in the dark lead us back to our hostel!
Wednesday - we had boked on a wine tasting tour! at about 9am our hillairous guide came to pickus up from the hostel! oh dear after 3 wine tasting (altho there was not much wine tastin by the end of it, just drinking bottles and bottles) places, 1 brandy and 1 champagne, all of us ont he tour were a little worse for wear! headed out for a seafood meal just off long street, then we were tucked up in bed, dead to the world by 8pm! shocking i know, but after the amount we had drunk we were luckly to still be standing!! he he
thursday we cuaght the baz bus and headed for jeffreys bay - surfing capital! but fran had food poisoning so we stopped off early and stayed at Albergo hostel in pletternberg bay! thats where i am writing this from now! she is ok now tho and i #touchwood# am also fine! head back to PE tonight...\\
