Okay the rest of the course happened, maybe when I get home I might type this part of it up. Now for what came next.
Friday 21st April
Arrive in PE, go out for farewell meal with the other students as Miriam was flying back home the next day.
Saturday 22nd
Chat to Lavuita, one of the receptionists at Lungile Backpackers, a lot. She's a Marine Biologist doing her PHd.
Sunday 23rd
Chat to Cardi, another receptionist, a lot, the one I talked to a lot on the day I stayed here two months ago. I sorted out her CV and helped her apply online for a job with Qatar Airways.
Monday 24th
Got to late lunch with Annelle, Cardi's flatmate and anotehr girl. Then joined them both for the braai they had invited me to that evening. Got a bit wasted.
Tuesday 25th
Went to the restaurant that Cardi works at for a meal, very nice too. Chatted to Raymond the barman whilst waiting for to finish work and then went for a few drinks with her in a couple of bars. As she's in the industry she gets half price cocktails in Giavani's, so that night ended up having a Long Island Iced Tea for 1 poond 70! Got to bed after 2 am
Wednesday 26th
Ended up going out to diner with Christina, an Austrian girl at the backpackers. Got chatting to Jules a girl I was at Shamwari with two years ago, how wierd is that, that she is back too?
Thursday 27th
I went out to lunch with Annelle, Wayne and Terri-Anne (?). In the afternoon Wayne and I chatted whilst Annelle slept over me on the sofa at her place. We then drove to Sardinia Bay for the sunset and a boersworst (sic) for supper. Wayne headed off home and Anelle and I snuggled up on the sofa at her place and watched a film. She thenwent off to meet friends and I went off for a drink at Cardi's restaurant and then went out drinking with her again till around 2 am again.
Friday 28th
Finally caught up with Louisa again whilst having lunch. Doug picked my up around 5:15 and he, Natash and I headed off to JBay. Doug cooked for the three of us and then we hit the bars and clubs in town. By the third one a young lady started to talk to me, Gabbie, and she and her friend Sheryl then joined us in our crawl. By the last club I was even dancing, yes people the first in a long time! Doug and Natasha when back to their room, but stayed dancing with Gabbie and Sheryl, well Gabbie mostly. Around 3 am I think they gave me a lift back and Gabbie put her mobile number in mine.
Saturday 29th
I rang Gabbie in the early afternoon and she rang back an hour later saying she was working at her fathers backpackers, but I was more than welcome to join her, so I did around 3:30 pm. Sheryl turned up from work later and Gabbie offered to cook for all of us. So Sheryl and I headed off to the supermarket and bought the ingredients. Had a really nice pasta meal that I helped Gabbie prepare and loads of chatting. At 11:30 Sheryle gave me a lift back to my backpackers.
Sunday 30th
I get picked up by BazBus and head to Storms River Village
Talk to a few backpackers. It was raining all day long and cold so I was sitting by the fire where I met Katrina German, Ruth (Canadian lawyer on a 18 month placement in Grahamstown, Sue from the States in Grahamstown for a semenster.
Monday 1st May
Talk Sue and Ruth into letting me tag along with them to go zip wiring across a gorge about 8 times. They also invited Katrina along.
Went walking with Katrina in the afternoon round a 5km nature trail. Talked to the girls at reception / bar in the backpackers in the evening.
So that's all for this post folks. I'm hungry!!
I can't believe there are only 2.5 weeks left!!
