The Crazy Ndn in Cape Town

Hey Everyone!

Well I have just arrived in Cape Town with Jessie after a spending about a week and some days travelling from Jo'burg. The coast of South Africa is absolutely beautiful!! Shuana I see what you mean about wanting to live in SA. Every little city I went to on the coast I could live in -- with a stunning ocean, with a backdrop of mountains.....it reminded me of home.

Anyways, for christmas Jessie and I spent it at the Tsitiskama National Park where we went Canopying -- basically the strung some wires at the top of the sub-tropical rainforest canopy and then we got to ride along them using pulleys. So we got to zip along the canopy of the rainforest! Our highest pt was 90 meters high and the longest zip line was 110 meters! It was lots of fun.

Then after that we went to Knysna were we got the chance to go quad biking, absailing (repelling) down an ocean cliff, and canoeing in a lagoon. The absailing freaked the !@$* out of me! We had the option to go again but I chickened out, however jessie showed me up and did it twice.

Now we are in Cape town with plans to go on a wine tour and I want to go diving with the great white sharks. Oh we have also met up with Cindy Zackafoo (sp?), Emily Yoeder, Liz Doerr and her family who are also staying in Cape Town. It will be a good time. Tomorrow we are going to go Salsa dancin at some club. It should be good times.

It is funny reading all of your blogs regarding missing Malawi because this whole trip I have become more and more homesick and can't wait to get home....I guess it is because I am still in africa.

Well will keep every one posted on my travels and I will send pictures via email so if you are not on my email list you will not get the pictures (I have sent pictures from my Tanzania trip).

Later,
