  20.17 - Today was a good day. Last night was also good except from when I got to bed. We did the quiz at the Saltwater bar where we came second to last! Afterwards though, I got talking to the barmaid there who is really good looking and as it turns out, the same age as me. Anyway, she asked if I wanted to go to the bar next door, naturally I said yes. The thing is, this bar was very expensive so I only bought one drink and I was very tired as well as fairly pissed so I was forced to go to bed early unfortunately. Here I fumbled around in my drunken state and my whispers of good night to everyone must have pissed someone off as I was told to "shut the fuck up!" So I did but I slept badly, waking up drenched in sweat in the middle of the night. This morning I was up at 6 bearing all the signs of a hangover ready for my day trip. In my haste, I forgot to book another night's accommodation but it was ok in the end because the guy on the coach was able to sort it out for me. The tour was really good. Again the guide was excellent, he stopped at loads of places and gave us lots of information. The Cape was very nice, good views all round but the sand boarding was the highlight. It was really good fun although it was hard work walking up the dunes but definitely worth it. I have sand everywhere though as well as a headache adding to my hangover because I fell off the board whilst trying to do a 360 degree spin! Ninety Mile beach was good although it is not 90 miles, only 64! After a stop for fish and chips then some fresh fruit, we got back. I am shattered so it will be another early night tonight. I might see if the barmaid is next door so I can ask if I can hang out with her tomorrow.
