Sick Surf...

After a grueling week volunteering and at placement, the Cape quad embarked on a relaxed weekend touring small cape side towns including Simon's Town, Fish Hoek, Kalk Bay and Muizenberg.

The highlights included a failed attempt to go along Chapman’s peak pass, a “late” breakfast in Kalk bay where we enjoyed coffees, lunch and relaxed shorefront scenery. The afternoon included another trip, on behalf of our roommates, to Cape of Good Hope, where we avoided the hoards of tourists and hiked along the light keepers trail to the farthest point at the cape.

By far the highlight of the weekend was our stop in Muizenberg where Ange and I went surfing. I tell you, the sea was angry that day, like an old man trying to return a sandwich at a deli… but this didn’t stop Ange and I from suiting up and grabbing our long boards. Following a failed attempt in 2005 in Tofino (for those who don’t know Tofino is the “surfing capital of Canada” situated on Vancouver Island), I was able to get up and catch a few waves. Certainly, leaving me motivated to try my luck another time.
