More Rambling

sunny 21 °C

Moving up the coast by Sunday or Monday. And going to see the BIG 5 on the safari. Can’t wait so stay tuned for pics of that and i will be putting pics up of some surfing. Waves have been really good lately which is why i haven’t written in the past few days. I live off everyone’s comments they are awesome the email is nick_fairman@yahoo.com if anyone wants to send me one. Hope everything is good back in the sates. Looks like i will be in Bali by Sep 5 or so but as of now none of my plans are in concrete. Being in the house is awesome. I am the youngest of about 10 guys and have been labeled as the apprentice or grommet. Doing dishes regularly for everyone and learning more than i would be if i was in college ha-ha .i know Ma didn’t want to hear that. It also looks like i might be able to last the entire year. All of the travelers say i am cheating my self if i don’t go ATLEAST a year. We will see. Tonight is a big party at a local establishment so the whole house looks to be going. I am starting to get a peak into the local scene around here and it is kind of odd. There are so many houses here that are not inhabited most of the year because they are all vacation houses. Also i have never been haggled for money as much as i have by the poor people here. There are tons up and down the streets and at night there is a supposed gang of about 20 kids between 10 and 15 years old. This town is said to be unlike most of the rest of s.a. because they say this country is one of the most dangerous countries in the world and practicing good safety is a must. This fact makes me kind of nervous to travel up to east London which is a few hours up the coast. I guess that’s when i will get in real traveling mode. Wish me luck!!! CHEERS!!!!

Mullet glad to hear the waves are picking up. Looking forward to your pics on safari and surf. Don't know about New London but it is getting harder harder to ground you or take the car away or threaten to hold back money so I just say use your head and take care of my heart love Dad

Nick,It's Mr.C here.Poor Cody is slaving away in my office for me until he goes to school next week @ UNF.He is bored silly,doing research on the computer looking up real estate sales info in Orlando.The waves are flat back home,typical for this time of year.Please send some surf pics out so Cody & I can check them out.I think you need to be more careful of the big tiger sharks in the Indian Ocean,than those gangs running around in S.A.Just trust your instints & you'll be fine.Pura Vida.
