NZ's South African Adventure

Wednesday, October 17, 2007

The Springboks are in the final. They beat the Puma from Argentina on Sunday night convincingly to meet up with England this Saturday. You may remember that we met the Brits in the round robin and throttled them 36-0. At any rate, we are favoured but that means little in a winner takes all final. We'll be wearing our green and gold to support our home team. I think we've been invited for a braai so we'll have prepared ourselves in the true South African style.
Harry, Carla and I went down to Muizenburg yesterday morning to hit the beach. It was a gorgeous day, about 28 degrees and the waves were coming in. We could see three different pods of whales at certain points with one group doing all sorts of aerial acrobats. About four of them were jumping around. Maybe it was a daycare. We'll definitely have to up the beach time in the coming month. It's always an adventure as we find different things on the beach in terms of sealife. A seal was jumping in the waves not ten feet from shore in front of us. We don't get that in Manitoba very often. We feel very priveleged.

  • The next best thing to being there?
    Going to the = NZ's South African Adventure blog!
    I also wish to thank you for the excellent photos, the weekly observations, the "how to" tips & recommends re: travelling in the area, and generally... making me feel soooooo jealous I couldn't be there! The Cape is definitely on my future to do wish list. Clearly you are richer for the experience and the people you've met are richer for having you there. Can't be said nuff ... love the photos! Safe return to y'all. TTYL ...
