4 legs or 4 wheels
Saturday morning we got up, I grabbed some breakfast and went over to the stables. Mum and dad had booked me an hour ride! Hooray!! I haven't ridden a horse in about 5 years but I guess its something you don't forget. My horse's name was Pepsi, she was pretty cool, a polo horse; and the guy who took me out was called Lucky. We went out and walked around the perimeter of the hotel grounds which border the Tsitsikamma national park so its realllly pretty- very green and lush. Lucky asked me if I knew how to ride so we could go a little faster haha I told him ithat was fine, haha he said that people say that then they trot and can't get the horses to stop haha...Pepsi trotted, Pepsi stopped, we survived haha. We rode accross a couple of the polo fields- there are 5 there in total...we galloped accross a couple of pieces of open ground, (and Pepsi slowed down and stopped at the end...survival!) It was great! At one point Lucky told me not to loosen the reins b/c there were babboons around and Pepsi doesn't like babboons haha I've never had to worry about babboons when riding a horse before- it was pretty funny.
After the ride I went back, showered, packed and met up with everyone else...we left pretty quickly to head to Capetown. I started the drive and drove the first 250km- about 2 1/2 hours, we stopped for some fooooood and dad took over and finished the trip- about another 350km. We went to the airport first and sorted out mine, Dave's, Sara and Laura's tickets home to London...so we're heading to Hertfordshore on Tueday the 10th- for those of you who are reading this in England- be ready to hang out and party!! From there we drove to the waterfront area and found a hotel which is prety much in the middle of a huge shopping area. We walked around a little and found something to eat. Its cold down here!! And raining!! Its supposed to clear up tomorrow- let's hope so.
Today we just wandered around some shops, then I got some food from the supermarket and split from the group for a while...now I'm watching Misty May and Kerri Walsh play beach volleyball! ...they're winning of course :)
