flying......
i have only flown twice in my life so far, once when i was in primary school sometime, a trip from port elizabeth to durban. 2nd time was from cape town to port elizabeth, i was out of high school then.
the first time i cant really remember, but my mom says that i didnt enjoy the flight that much. the 2nd time i was ok, until the pilot anounced that we were going to be landing soon, i started getting pins and needles in my hands and arms. i really felt horrible. i was flying to pe for my grandfathers funeral, so not sure if that maybe had something to do with it.
anyway!
next tuesday i am flying to namibia to go and visit otto for a few days, i am really excited, my first proper holiday away! but the flying thing has also got me a little nervous. might have to overdose on calming tablets, lol!
so tomorrow i will be going to my parents to see what bags or suitcases they have for me to borrow. sunday i will need to pack as the kids are here with me on monday night, so wont have time then. still cant believe that i will actually be flying to go on a holiday!

april 2013 - easter weekend!
on sunday the 24th april otto (not called the "guy" anymore) arrived at about 19:30, i was really excited to see him again. the tuesday night a few of our friends and ourselves went to watch a show at barnyard in durbanville, the show was called "surfing safari". i really enjoyed the show, we sang and danced and just had fun!
the wednesday night we met a friend for a few drinks, the few drinks landed up being, a couple of shooters and dancing later on. a awesome evening out!
the thursday with a very bad hang over we hit the road for a trip to vredenburg. a meet his parents kinda visit. luckily by the time we got to vredenburg that afternoon my hang over was waaaaaay better.
friday morning otto showed me around vredenburg, he then decided that he felt like abseiling. so we headed back to his parents place to pick up the climbing gear. it was very windy, once i got to the top i decided that there was no way i was going down. i have never abseiled before, havent really climbed, kinda freaked out about heights and knowing that my life was in my hands, ummmmmm no! anyway, after a pep talk and motivational speach from otto i decided to give it a try. i was extremely nervous, but i did it and i enjoyed it. so i gave it another try. after we had done the same one twice, he decided that he wanted to do the higher one, down the front. for him its nothing! once again, some how he managed to convince me to give it a try. it was waaaaaaay higher than the other one. another first that i have done!
the saturday we headed out to kwaggas to spend some time with friends. the weather unfortunately wasnt that great, overcast and cool. but that didnt stop the guys from skiing and wake boarding.

rather late than never - post catch up!
ok so! i didnt get very far with the argus, lol! not even to hospital bend (those who know cape town will know that is not far at all). my mind set was just not right to do the argus this year, i really didnt have the motivation to get myself to cycle "alone" and to finish. so i spent the day walking around the waterfront while waiting for my lift to finish the argus.
on the 16th march myself and karla (a friend) were very bored, so we decided to hike lions head. it was my 2nd time and her 1st. it took us approximately an hour and 45 mins to hike up. once u up there and take in the breath taking view, the hike up is so worth it!
