Well ello everyone! Im back!
So since we last had a little natter iv been a busy boy, busy girl some may say but lets not get into that! IM IN SOUTH AFRICA! That in itself is amazing! We have had such an amazing time already and only been here two weeks, those two weeks have including fulfilling 3 of my lifetime dreams! So i cant really complain, altho this chair in the internet cafe aint to comfortable, hmmmmm!
So lets go then, a quick look at the amazing life of tommy tit!
Cape Town
Arived from India and was i glad to see CIDER or i mean a more structured country! It was so clean in comparison, you could were flippies and not get ur feet covered in black stuff! Anyhoo stayed at backpackers in Long street and this was the real backpacking, meeting loads people and drinking all night! Which resulted in a few great days and nights followed by my wallet getting stolen, i didnt get annoyed tho cuse in end of day such is life! I did however have one of the most amzing runs, i ran for about 2hours, up huge mountain and ran around the base of Table Mountain, google it, amazing view of cape town or "THE CAPE" for us kool locals!
We then decided to get the PADI DIVING COURSE done and under our belt, so we booked in for that. It was about 45min from Cape so we stayed in a hostel, Surf and Chill, it was CHILLED alrite, so quiet, but was alright cuse we were busy diving during the day! We coulnt leave the hostel at night because nexyt to a township and would be to dodgy! We completed our PADI and we are now DIVERS! Wohooo i love it, we went diving and got to touch a pyjama shark (small) and a seal came right up beside us to play!
We decided due to it bieng dodgy in SA we would hire a car for the rest of our stay 29days! Got a wee VW CHICO, lol funny man, no power stearing but the wee thing goes well!
Hermanus
We then decided to do what i came here to do ... THE CAGE DIVE WITH GREAT WHITE SHARKS! We again stayed in a kool backpackers and got to meet alot of people over a few ciders! We stayed two days and then headed to the cage dive! It was amazing, we saw 3 sharks ranging between 2metres and 3 metres, believe me that was huge! The cage was really kool because the shark got right up beside u but the best view was from the boat! See the photos on facebook, awesome!
Mossel Bay
We headed to Mossel and spent two days here, we met two dudes from USA and thay have ended up going same hostels as us so good craic! We went for a big walk along the cliff and climbed a few rocks and that, was pretty kool! We had one funny night out with a guy called RYAN! He spent night buying us drinks and getting us into bars that were closed, he was so random but funny!
Stones River
Next stop and for one main reason ... THE WORLDS BIGGEST BUNGIE! 216M of pure madness, we stayed at a really amazing hostel called Tube An Axe, were we met laods of people and drank around the fire pit, i fell in love with this place straight away! As it was the day of Nikki's (sisters) Wedding and i was in SA we went Tubing in the river for about 4 hours in morning followed by the Bungie! I was the first one from our wee group to jump so it was well scary but i loved every second of it! Check the photos on facebook and when im home you can see the DVD, it is funny! We also had a walked around the Township in the local area which is were all the locals live, it was weird but better than what i expected!
Jefreys Bay (J BAY)
We arived here yesturday, it is the party central hostel in SA, its mad! It is also situated in one of the worlds most famous surfing spots. i went surfing today and went to Super Tubes (famous surfing beach)!
South Africa is amazing place, so many adventures and so many amazing views and places to see! Its also massive! We have alot of traveling to do nexty few weeks but wee Chico will get us there! Every day brings a new adventure so i am really enjoying it although it is all costing a small fortune and i will be luck to make it to OZ!
Well gotta run, hope all is well with you all, speak soon
