I know its been a very long time since my last post approximately 11 days ugh i know! But to tell you the truth nothing too fascinating has happened. School as it turns out is really hard. But my grades have been gradually increasing which is fabulous the last grade I got was a &) on my research paper for my history class and that is an A- here so its good!
I went to a party thrown by the yacht club that was a ton of fun but it is very comparable to frat parties back home, except it included a bouncy house and super cheap drinks!
Oh and the other exciting thing... I may have taken a ride from the police to a club. No worries I wasn't in trouble or anything. The cop car just pulled up on the side of the street and we asked if they would give us a ride and they said yes. I was pretty hilarious at the time. But I'm still having a blast in South Africa and learning a ton! and thats what matters right!

Fall- but Spring Break

So I know it's been a while. I haven't been keeping up with the blog. So to review the last 2 weeks of my life :) Two weeks back from today I had been up for at least 30 hours with maybe a nap on the plane or while driving. Spring break started with a very early flight out of Cape Town to Jo-burg. I'm talking like 4:45 pick up. And then we proceeded to drive at least 7 hours to our campsite in Botswana.

For those of you that know me will probably not believe that I camped for a full ten days two of those nights being without running water or a toilet other than a hole in the ground that our guides dug! But I survived :) It was a bit trying at times but I am alive and no worse for the wear. Now the highlights of my spring break include:

1) The Delta: Yes this is the place where there was no toilet or running water. Not my favorite place that we stayed but definitely one of the most beautiful places that I have ever been! It was a great experience to be able to walk down a trail and see an elephant in the wild and know that you are the visitor into their home. One thing that I will never do again is probably ride in a macoro (probably not spelled right). Um every few seconds a spider would drop into this 2 person boat that had to be pushed by a stick through the water. I'm not talking little spiders here people some of them were at least 3 inches wide! I may have freaked out alittle bit... Oh but we got to hear botwanan music by our guides which was really cool and don't worry we sang the lion king song to them :)

2) Victoria Falls: One of the 7 wonders of the world. It was amazing! You got misted by the falls when you were level with them. Gorgeous! We even had some local guys take us across the tops of the falls. Like through the currented water...No Big I could've died. But we all made it and got the see the view from the top = amazing and the boys jumped into the "devils pool" which is literally part of the falls. I didn't bring my swimsuit.

3) White Water Rafting: This is right up there next to bungee jumping! So fabulous class5 rapids and our raft flipped over once! It was a bit frightening at first but everything turns out fine and you get awesome pictures and a great rush! I would do it again in a second!

4) Sunset Cruises: Sunset cruises are great for seeing animals and just chilling out with friends. Fabulous! I saw hippos, buffalo, giraffes, crocs, lizards, antelope things, and elephant!

There you go folks the highlights! Ofcourse we stayed alot more different places but nothing spectacular happened. I met a bunch of great people and had a good time but next time I will think twice about signing up for a camping trip haha
