Right so in Hermanus now.. Been here since 11/06. Staying in Hermanus Backpackers -great place, get free tea and coffee all day and free brekkie.. all for 60rand i think a nite! :-)

Its only bout 5/10 mins walk from centre of village as well.. quite a nice place i think. Reminds me of west cork. Very scenic and pretty. Went for a walk yest on a cliff path to a really long beach with 2 girls from the hostel. Theyr german but sound! Went out for a meal then with them too yest evening.. Had hake! Wasnt bad!

Then after chilling back at the hostel we went to check out the club scene here.. Suprisingly we found a place (A lot easier than cape town!) that played dancy music.. wasnt 100% what id choose myself, but a lot better than pop crap so happy days!

Didnt stay too long thou coz i was supposed to be shark diving today (yes i mixed up my days when at stellenbosch. 01. Flower etc!

Have been booked in for tommorow so hoping the weather clears.. Have a feeling it wont thou. Its so windy at the mo.. I was finding it difficult to walk up the street earlier and all it was so strong.. ebbs and blows kinda think. Neway! Least its not sleeting rain as well i suppose!! Makes for amazing waves over the ocean.. White tips to a deep turquoisey sorta blue sea. Lovely!

Right so ended up spending a few more days than planned in Hermanus - Planned for 2 nights, stayed for 6! Eek!! Messing up my timeframe a bit but really enjoyed my time there and can always change my flights so fuk it!

Didnt do my sharkdive till Wednesday - coza bad weather so urman said that i could go for free the next day.. so i did! It was Amazing! Saw about 25 - 30 sharks the first day and visibility was really good! Saw 2 or 3 taht were over 4 metres in length!! HUGE they were! Some of them came right up to the cage to try get the bait (they dont feed em with it just use it to attract them in.. sometimes they manange to get the bait thou) so yea, neway, imagine having this huge great white thrashing the cage right in fronta u.. 02.

Neway.. was a class experience and defo recommend it.

Did the dive with Brian McFarlane - Think thats how it spelt - so if ne1s thinkn of doing it i recommend his trip.

Yea so neway.. had a great laugh in the backpackers while i stayed there as well, was a bit quiet somea the nights but the lads workn there were sound as so it nearly felt like i was leaving home again the morning i left there!! Aw!

Neway. Left then to go to Ooshturn so check next blog for whats happened there! :-)
