The Commodore V & A Waterfront Hotel Cape Town

... so i brought a new one, only 160000 rand, the BMW shop had about 60-70 new bikes on the floor. So i picked the most expensive one. (just kidding) what a shop, picked Davids tyres up.


It has been raining for 2 days straight now so we cant do a huge amount.


Just heard from the shipping agent bike wont be here until the 21st


Hopefully will have it out by mid next week.

Went out to cape point yesterday on ...

... what are your passions, what makes you come alive?" They are all into so many cool things--going on adventures, climbing, diving (SCUBA), sandboarding, surfing, and a myriad of others. It's so humbling to be around these types of people... they're not caring about my appearance or my successes, but more what I want to make out of life. They are all about quality time. It's somewhat refreshing, and resembles a biblical perspective in many ways... I like it.

... my PADI open water dive course with my old mate from my previous dive, Ken. We went out on a few dives where we saw seals, starfish, fish fish and coral aswell as going back to the classroom-eeek!-for theory and an exam. All good and aswell as doing it all in record time i passed with flying colours. What a water baby eh! Between dives deep down in the ocean i managed to have festival fun at a big bash going on about an hour ...

I had a global studies test first thing this morning. Some questions were really easy and others were really random. After class I took a nap and then went and laid out the rest of the afternoon. It was great but really windy outside. We always lay out by the volleyball/basketball court on the side because it is less crowded and we can occasionally watch a good game on the court since many of the guys don't lay out but just play around there. After a day of ...

... old flight. Upon take off most of the people shrieked! Everytime the plane would turn or dip or even fly through a cloud there were noises of excitement. I even heard some little girls going "weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" It was really funny actually! When I arrived someone from the hostel picked me up and the drive over was just amazingly beautiful. I've heard from so many well seasoned travellers that Cape Town is the most beautiful city in the world and it ...

... one day. 2010 World Cup being a distinct possibility we thought. Oh no! Sooner than that. So off we went, took a taxi minibus back into town (they are a story in themselves) and we had a look around and a bit of a shop. After paying, who did we bump into? Mr Prophet himself. Some 4 hours later with no way of him following us. Slightly strange! He also gave Adam his phone number ;-). So there you go, we have met a prophet! And have his ...

... t help but start laughing at him... he looked annoyed when I interrupted him and finished his story for him. He yelled profanity at me in his true South African accent and then took off. Tomorrow morning I board a bus for an 18-hour ride to Windhoek, Namibia. OH MY GOD... 18 bloody hours! Anyway, from this point forward, the blog postings will be less frequent... don't worry I am probably not dead. Just lacking in Internet connectivity.

... The night melted away as we listened to the Phil Collins - Live in London DVD while playing pool and sipping on the delicious brandy that Mr. Weber eagerly distributed. All in all, it was a superb evening that put the cherry on top of an amazing stay in Cape Town. After returning home, Aaron and I said our goodbyes to Gareth because he will be working when depart tomorrow. It was a pleasure to meet you Gareth and thank you so much for your warm hospitality ...

Wow South Africa...if I had to choose one word for it, I would say overwhelming. There was so much to do and see, I feel like some one showed me a tiny hole in the wall and all I was allowed to do was peek through even though there was a door just down the way. Already everyone is planning how and when to come back. I did a three day safari and saw many animals. It's funny how when I go to the zoo, I'm not nearly as excited as when I was 7. However all of that, changes when ...

Good people, well South Africa was a blast from the past. I highly recommend everybody to make a stop here. They are so rich in culture, history and politics it'll likely knock your head right off! Seriously though it is so much to take in. You dont know how to greet people on the street because there are 11 oficial languages and your not sure if someone is Zulu, Kosa, Africaan or other. The nice thing about it is that political correctness doesnt ...
