Today was my last full day volunteering! Yesterday I did my practical for the marine guiding certification. Basically I just had to lead a boat tour full of the public and teach them about the animals we see. I had a group of 8 Germans who were very friendly and laughed at my jokes. We got to see a huge pod of bottlenose dolphins, and then we headed over to the seal colony. On the way, we even got to see a hammerhead shark! And... I passed! And I also passed the test so I have completed the marine guiding course in South Africa! If I want to get the official certificate, I just have to take an online test which I might do when I get home.
Today I went out on the boat 3 times, once with a public tour, once with a school group, and once with the staff because someone reported seeing Southern Right whale... unfortunately we couldn't find it, but we got to see a huge pod of common dolphins feeding and jumping completely out of the water which was cool.
Tomorrow we are going fishing in the morning (if the weather holds out) and spending a few hours at the township pre-school again. Jen and I are taking the afternoon off to get pedicures and relax on the beach. Tomorrow is her birthday so we are all going out for happy hour, sushi, and to Surf Cafe for the night. So I have to pack tonight because I'm leaving Plett on Friday morning! I can't believe I'm coming home so soon. It's crazy! But I'm definitely looking forward to it :)
