Yo it's Cathy keys, pipface emz here ready to take on the challenge of blogging about our holiday!
12 days, 6 girls, 5 stops, 1 bus
We travelled down the garden route to cape town on a hop on hop off bus stopping at hostels on the way and loving life.
Stop 1 was Port Elizabeth, not much there so not much to say but we made the most of it and enjoyed some rest and relaxation. We then moved onto Jeffreys Bay where we had a surfing lesson, we now like to think of ourselves as pros but in truth we are more pro at falling off then standing up! J bay left us with some memorable moments- lying under the stars and watching the sun rise. Storms River was the next stop and where the adventures began, beginning with the hostel with triple bunk beds, hammocks and a bonfire. 'Fear is temporary, regret is permanent' was the motto of Thursday morning as we all took on the world's highest bridge bungee! Some of us enjoyed it more then others and as seen from the photos the diving skills were varied too.
Penultimate stop was knysna, where we celebrated kez's birthday with an elephant park, sunset boat trip and a late night dip in the pool! We then had a sweaty 8 hour bus journey to cape town, where we went to robben island, did a city tour, went to cape point and went up Table mountain (in the cable car, our legs wouldn't have survived the walk!)
Lots of love,
Xoxoxo
This all sounds awfully exciting, glad you're having a good time!! :) great photos!
ReplyDeletenot at all jealous. So pleased to know you enjoyed your trip and especially that you survived the jump! please explain why some people are diving head first and some go feet first! thinking and praying for you as you get back into work (and we do too!) xx
ReplyDeleteEmma you are a wee daredevil!! Go you :)
ReplyDeleteHey girl brus!
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed your break, you definately seem to have embraced the work hard / play hard ethic.
So here's some more for you to ponder over the next week or two...
Do the African & British work ethics differ?
How do you feel about helping people who you believe to be deserving but unlucky, compared to helping those who who feel bring their problems on themselves?
This week in our lifegroup we studied The Transfiguration & saw something new in Jesus that had been there all along but we hadn't recognised. Has He shown you a new side of Himself yet while you've been in Africa? If not are you brave enough to ask him too... it might be a scary side!

Hello! Well done on doing the bungy, Pip, your mum kept praying you wouldn't and I kept praying you would! Well done all for all you are doing out there!!! Gaynor (Pippa's family friend ��)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you've all had such a good holiday. I'll be praying for you as you return to your work at Lungisani Indlela, and especially that you will have opportunities to rest and recharge in the midst of the busyness. With much love, Roz (Hannah's Aunt) xxx
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed your holiday and the bungee jumping went well. Hope you're not too hot and sweaty, after a lovely easter weekend we are back to normal weather!
