This lifestyle here is awesome - I could get used to this! Everyday is a mix of research and just plain fun! I have been driving the boat up the river for water sampling... we went to the pre-school again yesterday and "made a thunderstorm" (old camp tradition) which they loved. And then we spent the rest of the day boogie-boarding on the use surf in the bay!
There are 2 more girls that have arrived from England. They spend the mornings working with disabled children (they are physical therapists, just out of school), and in the afternoons they join Jen, Tracy and I with whatever we are doing. Today Chrissie is taking us on a 3 hour hike through Nature's Valley (I can't say that without thinking of granola bars). Apparently it is one of the best hikes in the area - supposed to be gorgeous.
A few days ago we hiked part of Robberg peninsula which is pictured at the top of my blog! We stopped at the sandy beach to do a beach clean-up.
Two days ago we took a group of school children out on the boat. They were 12 years old and most of them had never been on a boat before - let alone see dolphins! We got to show them a huge pod of bottlenose dolphins which they loved.
Next week I will be completing my competent crew and marine guiding certifications so I actually have to study this weekend. On Friday, Jen and I are headed to Cape Town together. She is starting a new project there I am sight-seeing and enjoying my last few days in this beautiful country!
