All will become clear as the entry unfolds... :p Had a bit of a lie in today, was very nice!! Though got woken up eeeearly by a phonecall from one of the other instructors wanting another instructor's number!! Sunday seems to be lie-in day at the moment - I properly got up at 8!! :p had brekkie, did some washing, chatted to Iona, now we're here :p its like quarter past 10 in the morning - might go to the beach later!! So Thursday (19th) was quite a hectic day!! Me and Iona were up at the gym at 6:15am for a private spinning class with Deon. It was fun to do proper 'moves' on the spinner, but it was haaaard on the legs!! Sprints on full resistance - not fun!! Not like running at all ... read more

...of me and Roy!! Yaaaaaay :D this morning I actually let myself have a lie-in until 7!! (That is late here) :p and gave my body a bit of a rest. Read some of my book, was niiiice!! Me and Natasha and Iona went for the farmers market (after going to the Tourist Info for Chloe to find out if there were any gay clubs in Knysna!!) It was loverly, we had fudge and pancakes and hot chocolate :D it was good to get time to just get away from everyone and everything and just sit and chat :) we also got nice bread to have sandwiches on!! We bumped in to Ted, another instructor, and was chatting to him for a bit. I also got a CD for African Jazz artists, but the retarded CD ... read more

Hey guuuuuuuuuys, we're either going to Grabouw or Potch on Saturday, to return on the 25th March (apparently) so this may be my last blog in a while!! As Outward Bound say though, "the only this certain at OB is that nothing is ever certain" so who knows? :p the reason that we may not be going to Grabouw is that there has been really bad fires up round that area near Cape Town - we've lost a couple of abseiling and rox sites, the one that I did site specifics on last time I was up has gone apparently :· I just hope that the community that live round there were ok!! Such a lovely area, the Hottentots Holland Nature Reserve, its such a shame. Its Nadia's birthday tomorrow, so we're going out for dinner ... read more

Sooooo, back in Sedgeveg, got a lift back in a very cramped car with Nadia, because the woman who booked our bus for us mucked up and booked us on the 0600 in the morning one!! But its all good, we're here now :p Cape Town was so awesome, training school starts tomorrow, will hopefully not die :p So on Tue (24th) I had to do some washing in the hostel kitchen sink, was an experience :p and someone nicked my cheese!! Me and Iona booked our Cape of Good Hope/Wine tours, dropped TishTash off at the bus, then went and saw the art gallery (can't remember the name of it) was interesting and very varied!! And chilled in the County gardens for a bit, was nice, lots of different parts. We took Leonard and Venkie ... read more

Tis rubbish, but I'll work something out :p Today has been... interesting!! Friday the 13th indeed. Me, Iona and Natasha's running shoes got nicked during the night, we had left them outside to dry without a second thought, everyone else's shoes were fine!! Also, a pair of my, Natasha and Numsa's socks have disappeared from the washing line. Charming!! So, we hired the buggie again to go back to George to buy new ones. I decided that I would get a really good pair, sunce I'm running so much, and I definitely won't lose these ones!! They're Astecs (sp?!) and were R800 (like 60 quid) I'm really annoyed that I had to spend that much, but as I say, I had to, I need running shoes!! Argh. Anyway, since we couldn't run this morning, me and ... read more
