Best Holiday Ever - Part 2

Ok, so it's been a little more than a week.... And again, the lack of time means I'm going to have to do bulletpoint/snapshot things of what I've been up to since I last posted.

We've spent time travelling along the beautiful Garden Route on the South African coast. We camped near a town called Mossel Bay, where we saw a whole group of dolphins jumping in and out of the waves just as they broke.

We stayed in the best backpackers in the world in Plettenberg Bay, where we decided to spend Christmas because it was so cool. They had a braai every night and the people were friendly - and as a bonus for Marcel, a lot of them were Dutch so he got to speak his own language again for the first time in months!

We did the highest bungee jump in the world off Bloukrans Bridge. It was amazing. It was even hard to be scared because it's like  a party up on the bridge, they have a DJ set up there and all the crew are like hardcore adrenaline junkies who've done the jump (all 216m of it) hundreds of times. The feeling when I was just freefalling before I felt the pull of the rope was so cool, all of us were on a high for hours afterwards.

Right now we're in Cape Town which is the best place to be this close to New Year. We've met up with loads of other SA volunteers and so sleep has gone out of the window a bit, but it's more than worth it!

Today we're going up Table Mountain, then on the 3rd we're leaving for Botswana. Wish me luck!
