So I've made it to South Africa, barely! lol I have fiunished my tour with the group. On our trip through Namibia we had some amazing highlights. After climbing all over the enormous mountains of rocks in Spitkoppe we slept in a cave with a view of the stars all night long. Somewhere along the line we went to The Cheetah Farm. This is a place that protects wild cheetahs and has three tamed ones that were born there. I got to pet them and watch from the truck bed as the wild ones were being fed. An absolutely amazing experience and I wanted it to last all day!
In Swakopmund I went sandboarding on the dunes. The stand up boarding was actually really hard and not that enjoyable but the lie down was fantastic and i got up to 76km/hr!!! The last run of the day however I went a bit crazy. I went over the jump and was cruising down the dune but when I went to stop I caught some sand and went flying resulting in a fractured left wrist. I didn't actually get to the hospital until the next day but i'm glad I went! Apparently it is the same hospital that Angelina Jolie gave birth in. Anyway I haven't let a cast or the fact that I can only use one arm get in my way.
Once we got to Cape Town a few of us were staying on so we rented two cars and drove around cape point. It was fun to do a mini road trip before everyone parted ways. Due to the one arm issue I decided to go with the baz bus option for the rest of my time in sa. I will be traveling the garden route and then up to Joburg were I fly home. Some of the attractions along the way are riding an ostrich, the highest bungy in the world and a canopy swing!! I may not be able to tie my shoes or pack my bag without help but I am still going to have fun!!! See you all in two weeks!!!!
