pondo fever at jungle monkey

SOUTH AFRICA | Tuesday, 22 January 2008 | Views [2803]

pondo fever...an illness which affects travellers to port st johns and the entire wild coast area of south africa. sypmtoms include not knowing what day it is, extreme relaxation, prolonging your departure and in extreme cases, even forgetting where home is! i've come down with a mild case in this awesome chilled little beach town. it has a bit of a byron bay feel to it only minus the pretensiouness! i came last tuesday and was meant to stay 2 nights and here it is the following monday and i have no intentions of leaving for at least another week. its really really beautiful, unlike any other place i've seen before. the nature is magnificent, the people are so friendly and you can be as active or as lazy as you want to be. i'm not so bummed about the other places i won't get to because i've stayed here for longer than planned, i know i'll be back in south africa for the world cup so it can all wait until then. right now i'm having too much damn fun! even forgetting about my homesickness which has been plaguing me since before christmas, to be replaced with pondo fever! sorry for the ramblings but am slightly hungover and in a natural state of happiness and leisure, life's great! mwuh!
