So today is our last day in this small beach town of Cape St. Francis. Tomorrow early morning we're heading to Port Elizabeth to catch a flight back to Johannesburg and then over to Nelspruit which is the closest airport to Kruger National Park where we will be spending five days before starting our loooong journey back to the U.S. This morning I went for the last feeding of the penguins at the lighthouse and then just sat hanging out with Adri and Stevie for a bit until Michaelle joined us and we collected some last minute photos. I'm really going to miss that special little bird, Adri. Breaks my heart a little to leave her.
A few of our antics over the past week have included Michaelle's first ever surfing lesson (I acted as photographer), organizing all of the samples we've collected over the past two months, and an awesome night of karaoke down at the pub. Now I'm not a big karaoke fan, but after much encouraging from Lynne and Michaelle, I started to get into it. Highlights included Michaelle and myself doing a great rendition of "Barbie Girl," bringing a little bit of Athens GA to Cape St. Francis SA by singing REM's "Losing My Religion" with Lynne and some random dude, and a pretty killer performance of the Yeah Yeah Yeah's "Maps" by Michaelle and I. I've also been working on my pool game and am proud to say that I am much less terrible at the game than I was when we first arrived. Now I am trying my best not to get sick since I've been teetering on the line for the past few days. Gotta keep up my strength for all those white rhinos at Kruger!!
Leaving you with a few pictures of Cape St. Francis: little Stevie (you should hear me do an impression of the way Trudi speaks to Stevie someday, it's quite entertaining... "Stevie! Steven!! Where's your fish, poppet, where's your fish?"), then Adri trying to eat the bird on my arm, then a picture of the sunset at the Wild Side.
