From bad poverty to dissapative abundance - a short step in ZA

After my time-weired post last time, this time everything worked well. The tuesday night out got crazy, like my writing skills that evening, but not everything is supposed to get blogged ... :D
Well, today I´m tired. But unfortunatly i met a guy from durban and we will go out of course :) The sixth night in a row...

So, just a little list what i´ve done yesterday and today ;)

wednesday:

- township tour in the morning with shelly and a private guide (i will write about this later, cause i have to comment it)
- left capetown, and drove along the marine cost road to cape alghuas (passing bettys bay, hermanus and some other nice small towns) along some of the most beautiful villas
- take a swim at "Pearly Beach"
- drove the 4 types of roades in sa; highway, good road, bad road, gravel road (which isn´t a road actually)
- got flashed out of a car :((
- Visited Cape Alghuas (most southern tip of sa)
- met some students from stellenbosch in the hostel and talked to them about my study plans for sa (well, it looks like i will head on to apply there for 2012)
- talked to marius from neckars-ulm who works on a winery in paarl (i will go there for a weekend in january or february, so think about it, if you want to join :D)
- went out for a drink in the most-southern pub :))
- got a sleep in the most beautiful hostel i´ve ever seen next to the founder and owner of skynet (who offered me to drive one of his ferraris or lamborghinis when i´m back to cape town, weired guy, but really interresting to met)

thursday:

- went to the cave (more a groto) in arniston with marius and another guy from sa who knows this landscape like his "Westentasche" :D
- drove to Mossel Bay passing Swellendam on the N2, a road under construcution for about 100km; funny to see how they work, reminds me on the style of working in the former democratic republic of germany (5 guys, but only 1 blade)
- checked into the hostel in mossel bay; just an old train rebuilt as hostel, which is parked close to the beach
- went out to see some sights, not that much, cause Mossel Bay is to ZA sth. like Palma de Mallorca for Germany (it will get very busy here tommorow, cause the sa summer holidays (2 months) will start on friday)
- as i wrote, met heelgard from sa, and we will head out to a club/bar


And especially just for you, loaded up all pictures i´ve done the past 4 days ;) Enjoy them as i did ...

Tommorow i will go to Oudshorn in the great black mountains (which is said to be the most beautiful mounty landscape in za) and probably going to sandboard the biggest dune in sa (350m)

Have a nice day and prepare for your weekend, i have to do too ;)
