South Africa

Not much going on today around sleepy j-bay. No waves today so not much to do. Cold front is coming tonight and the reports are saying 10 foot waves for tomorrow so I am stoked!! I slept until about 1 o’clock in the afternoon about 5 in the morning your time. I have never slept past like 9 so it was weird ha-ha. Went to town today to go to the bank to exchange money. They accused me of having counterfeited (sp?) money because of the colors on all the new bills and I had old ones as well so they were confused. Everything is so cheap here. It is 7 rand to the dollar. Good steak at the grocery store cost about 2 dollars and a six pack of beer cost like 3, not like I would know anything about that though. I will probably be in j bay for another two weeks then head up the coast for a week or so then on to Bali. I am going to ride my bike into town tomorrow so I will take some pictures and post them. Until then Chow, Nick

So I am here in j-bay my final destination for the time being. I am loving it. The waves are unreal I have never seen such beautiful things in my life. Got in last night about 8 o’clock after three days of travel but so far has been worth every bit. The hostel I am staying in is right on the beach and awesome!! There are about twenty others living here all surfers. So as most of you know I left my credit card in the states. What a dumbass. Good thing I had about 150$ in cash. Everything is so cheap here. I just went to the grocery store and bought about 4 days worth of food for 10$.just about got hit by 3 cars walking there because of the fact that they drive on the other side of the road and forgot to look the right way when I was crossing ha-ha. I wish you all could see the view I am looking at right now. I am staring out of a window at the Indian Ocean with sand dunes in the background. Absolutely breathtaking!! I will post pictures as soon as I can. Another American is staying here and is letting me use his comp. but I will put pics up when I get to another computer. I love seeing everyone’s comments on here so keep them coming, I love you all will post again soon until then pura vida, Nick
