South Africa, Plettenberg Bay

SOUTH AFRICA | Friday, 16 January 2009 | Views [340] | Comments [1]

How to start? Well, it's now been slightly over two months that I arrived in South Africa and although I had been planning on writing a blog just as soon as I'd started travelling, I never got around to it. Somewhere I do not have anything of interest to say but as most of my friends will know by now I am crap at keeping in contact..

So, here I am in Monkeyland's office it's 15:30 and I've been here since 8. Luckily now that season has passed - we'd get over 1500 people a day - there's not so much to do anymore. Since the beginning I've been cleaning some cages, walking people in, helping out in the curio store, making daily cups of coffees, helping out with the advertising (just had to tag over 1000 condoms with monkeyland stickers) and finally doing tours.

Anyway, I guess I haven't really told that many people what I'm up to.. so yea, I'm taking a gap year so doing a couple volunteering projects. This first one, for 4 months in South Africa and then another one, for another 4 months, in Ecuador. And hopefully between projects I'll be travelling around.

Not sure what to say else for now, too many things - or to little - have happened since I've arrived. I'll just try and keep this up to date from now on and leave me comments if there's anything more specific you'd like to know! Ah, and well in general I'd love to hear from you so, if you haven't yet added me on facebook do so and tell me about you..!
