Back in SA

I figured now that I was back in South Africa where internet is regularly available that I should post more often to avoid the looooong posts. I flew in to Cape Town the two days ago and spent the night in the worlds loudest hostel. The club was below, the others in the hostel were partying until about 6 in the morning and I am pretty sure there were at least a couple of car accidents on the street below. I have reservations there when I go back to Cape Town for 5 days......I think I will cancel though.
I left Cape Town with the intention of heading to Knysna, a beach town along the south coast. Lucky for me I learned while in transit that there was no available rooms there due to an oyster festival. I ended up staying on the bus all the way to a place called Plettenbergbaii (baii=bay). It is beautiful here and the people are very nice. I smiled and said hello to a man who was about 50 as I was walking for coffee this morning and ran in to him later at lunch so we sat together and had a wonderful chat, he used to sail charter boats in the Carribean, we had a lot to talk about. The most exciting part of my day though was this morning when I got to do laundry. It has been 20 days since I have had the chance to do it (besides washing underwear in the sink). Everything I own was dirty except for my jeans (well they are but you can't tell) and a shirt I bought at the end of my tour that the whole group designed and had made in Zambia. It feels so good to be carrying around a bag of clean clothes that does not smell.
It is also nice to be by the ocean again. It had been 18 days since I last saw the ocean...Dad and Mom correct me if I am wrong but I think that is the longest I have ever gone in my life without seeing an ocean. It is nice to be back!!! In a few days I will be in Jeffery's Baii for the Billabong Pro....I hear things are nuts there....all day on the beach and all night partying!! I am sure I will have some fun stories....
Love me
