Disturbing occurences.

We're still in the 3 week holiday. And we're still bored! We made ourselves a holiday plan for things we can do and what days we're going to do them.

Yesterday we didn't have anything on the plan so me and Sarah walked to the windmill, then onwards to explore Durbs. There was just a lot of very big, rich houses it was quite depressing but we did get some nice veiws over Durbanville. It was also the opening or rather re-opening night of Mr. Pickwicks. Mr. Pickwicks is a bar/cafe in Cape Town that makes the most AMAZING burgers and milkshakes. It used to be on Long Street, but recently closed down and moved to Green Market Square and it opened last night. It was a bit rubbish actually. The old Pickwicks was really dark inside and felt sort of cramped but in an english pub kind of way whereas the new one is very open and light and spacious and unfamiliar. They also didn't have half the things they offered but we think they were forced to open too early because it was the 3rd time they delayed their opening. We're going to go back in a week or so to see if it's any better. We then went to a club called Jo'Burg. I don't drink so I find going to clubs fairly boring, but there were a few other sober drivers there so it was better. One of the new volunteers had his phone stolen which he was very upset about. Some new smart phone that had a 1 year contract. BUT he took it to Long Street on a Friday night, took it out in a club to take pictures and had pockets that you could have put your head in without him noticing. Let that be a lesson to you all!

Then today we went to Neighbourgoods market in Woodstock-delicious as always. We found some amazing dairy free, sugar free chocolate that was just divine! It was kind of bitter, but it was so smoooooth! Words cannot describe, urgh, I'm dribbling just thinking about it. After the market we went back to Long Street, or rather Green Market where there is a, well, market. We had the intention of buying souvenirs for our family and friends and what-not (we is me, Sarah and Anne). I went with one thing in mind and for the others, I planned on browsing and seeing if anything suited what I could remember of my family and friends. But once I got there there was no inspiration. I can remember my brothers for example, but I've been gone for a whole year. They've changed. I don't really know them anymore. And all the items at the market are just 'stuff', junk that gets forgotten about and thrown away at some point. I'd much rather have my family come out and let me intoduce them to things and give them memories (as cheesy and cliched as it sounds). So in the end I didn't really buy anything! I still have an idea for something I want to buy but it's more a present for my house than my family.

After than I got to do some drumming on the street again. As you do!

Tomorrow we were going to go to arch mountain but we've changed our minds and are now planning to eat at Mama Africa-maybe I can have a corcodile steak!
