Week 2

I feel like I am lacking a bit. I still have to update you guys on what happened two weeks ago!
What did happen anyway?.... *gets out journal* ....

Garden Route!!!

Day 1, Tuesday:
Bella's birthday :) accompanied by lots of balloons, but there was one slight problem; she is terrified by the sound of popping balloons!
Cango Wildlife Ranch, full of lots of animals and a wacko tourguide who kept on scaring people into thinking that the crocodiles had escaped.
Cango Caves, we almost had to be hospitalized for our selfie overdosis and I just have to say that our tourguide was aboslutely fabulous darling!

Day 2:
Mozied along down to the Ostrich Farm, weren't allowed to ride any though. We weren't even allowed to even see any, how sad is that?
While in Knysa - Took the Featherbed Nature Reserve tour.
Tried an alfajor (pronounced the spanish way, *alfagor*), É chocolate recheados com doce de leite da Argentina. It's chocolate filled with Dulce de Leche form Argentina. It's amazing how much google translate has helped me during this exchange.

Day 3:
Knysna Elephant Park, where elephant dreams are filled with vegetables.
Then.....*Loud dramatic music*..... Bungy jumping from the worlds highest bungy bridge! 216 m!! The feeling you get when you jump off that edge, it's indescribable.
(Secret: I was actually more scared for my Public Speaking competition than this)
Birds of Eden, there were, uhmmmmm, lots of birds there.

Day 4:
We got the option to go skydiving! So ofcourse, I immediately call up my parents asking for permission (and a generous donation) but to no avail! I was allowed to go do it, but had to pay for it by myself. The price of 15 minutes of exhilaration costs just as much as five months of pocket money, so that was an immediate no :(

         "My wallet is like an onion. When I open it, i cry."
                                                    - Some person I do not know.
So we went to the beach instead.
Went on a game drive and saw not one, but two lions! I was actually expecting a few more, why? It's Africa!

Day 5, the last day:
Aloe Vera "factory". As most girls know, it is extremely good for you, but it is unfortunately the most vulgar thing to drink.
Cape Agulhas, the southern most tip of Africa.
Cheetah encounter, no accidents had happened for fifteen years... until we got there. Just joking, the care takers would get all anxious if the cheetah turned onto its other side. So we had a very exciting visit, the cheetah turned around for times! They are actually very cute, calm and gentle creatures, when they're not chasing after you.

Ended the day with dinner in a restaurant called Moyo, which ofcourse included facepaint.
