Well I may as well tell you about the next leg of the trip before I forget it all!
So Sarah left me and I caught the Baz bus to a place called Outdsthoorn. Wasn't sure where to go so took a pop at Oudtshoorn whcih sounded pretty interseting - but turned out to be quite dull! Got on the bus and was begining to wonder what on earth I'm doing traevlling on my own when I started chatting to the girl next to me. She turned out to be areally cool girl called Helen from Germany and we hit it off straight away, so have ended up traevvling together ever since. We went together up to place called Knysna, up the coast a bit. there we met another girl called Aly, from scotland, who is also very cool, sop the three of us are all travellig together.
Knysna is pretty cool, and it was lush weather so we decided to hire some bikes up to the Heads where we got an amazing view of the coast and lagoon.
Next stop was Storms river, in the middle of nowehere. Lots of adventure things to do there, so did a canopy tour where you swing through the trees on a zip line which is pretty cool fun. the same day I had a moment of madness when I decided to throw myself of a bridge to the do biggest bungy jump in the world. Very scary indeed and I still don't know how I managed to jump off, but it when I had my feet firmly bakc on the ground, I decided it was actually quite good fun!

The three of us then decided to move on to Jeffreys Bay - the location of the filming of Endless summer so obviously had to try out the sirfy myself. The waves were actually quite small so not too scary, I was more worried about being eaten by a shark, but fortunately I was OK! So J bay was pretty cool but now we are in a place called Cintsa, which is even more cool. staying in a cool place whcih overooks the baceh and there are horseriding and canoeing and mounatin biking things to do, so looking forward to some action. The weather is hotting up too, so it's very exciting!!

OK dinner is calling so I'm off.
Hi to everyone, lots of love
Nicky xx

Sounds Fabalas!
Hey Nicky, Sounds like things are going really well for you - I knew you'd make friends straight away - the girls sound gr8 fun! The bungy jump sounds scccaarryy!!! The death defying leap off that old crane thing at college didn't put you off then - although I'm sure if you were going to come to your end anywhere it would have been on that rusty old thing! Send us some pics when you can - make us all even more jealous than we are already! Just the mention of beaches and sunshine is making me green! Take care Bryony x
