19.11.2018 first day in South Africa

At 4 in the morning I woke up, 2 of the bus staff were next to me and the upper part of the bus was empty.

I was very tired and confused so I removed my headphones and looked at them: 'what?'
'Boder, sir, water!' I did not understand him very well but then the other said: 'passport! Passport!'

So we were at the border and everybody got out to show their passport.

I was worried a bit because I was still not just travelling but volunteering and I had problems thinking straight at the moment.

But the very very beautiful lady at the check in was so tired and pissed off that she just took my passport made a stamp in it without looking and took the immigration form.

Back in the bus I was just going to lay back to sleep when the bus stopped again and everybody got out again. There was a second control where we had to show our passport then one of the bus staff collected all of them. I had no idea why I just gave my passport to that bus guy but when I got out of the building the bus was gone.

The bus was standing a few meters further away. The back was open and all our luggage was outside, now we had to ooen our bags and police officers controlled what was in it. I was not to worried.....oh I do have a knife with me......and some elephant teeth I found at the naankuse farm.....fuck.

My bag got controlled, I had to open it and the police man started searching through it. Though only 1 of the 7 compartments and so he didnt find anything.

That could have gone very wrong I thought while putting my bag back in the trailor. Half asleep I stood outside waiting until they came back with our passports and handed them out.

Now back in the bus I waited with going to sleep for a bit until I was sure there were no more controls.

Next time I woke up we were at our next stop. It was 10:00 in the morning and here we stopped to buy some breakfast. There were no fruits or slices of ham or cheese so I bought some muffins and sandwiches with orange juice.
The orange juice was pretty weird but the rest was okay.

At 13:00 we arrived our destination, I wasnt sure if everything was going to work out though when I left the bus there was aleady a lady standing there with my name on a board. So that all went fine.

'Zurita' brought me to my hostel and told me how things were gonna go tomorrow. At 5 'craig' the taxi man would bring me to the bus stop and with the bus I would drive to the George stop where the only 2 other volunteers will pick me up.

The hostel was pretty nice and in the middle of the city. Capetown is pretty busy and a big city though I have seen larger ones during my travels💁.

I spent some time there and then started to walk around. I was hungry but didnt really know for what, I have had enough from burgers and pizza for a bit even though its been a while since I had them. Maybe some pasta.... But then I found it.....=R I B S=

Yes some fine ribs like in hong kong would be pretty nice. So I went in and ordered some with sweet potato fries, onion rings and ice tea. And just after a short while I had a beautiful meal infront of me. The fries and onion rings were good but the ribs oh my lord.
I thought Liesbeth Donken herself was in the kitchen preparing them. They were absolutely amazing and I wish I went for the 600g and not just the 300g size.

After some dessert I went back to the hostel. It was the first restaurant were I gave a tip. For everything I payed 265$ which is about 16€!!!! That is nothing!

Definitely going to go back there when I am done with the project.

In the hostel I decided to take a much needed shower, I entered my room and quickly checked if there is nobody around. Then I let out a fart that impressed all 7 gods of foul and disgust, worthy to the son if satan and was strong enough to knock out a dozen men at once. Then I saw some movement and suddenly realized that there was a girl in the room under the bed sheets.

I quickly opened the window and grabbed my things for the shower as fast as possible. Thankfully I am only staying here one night.

I quickly checked in with my parents and then wet to bed. Tomorrow I will probably be offline for another 3 weeks. So see ya👋

Leuk verhaal Nick van die mooie scheet! Komt vast van die overheerlijke spareribs. Enne...… ik weet wat me te doen staat in december! Maar wel op voorwaarde dat je dergelijke scheten dan in de garage los knalt! Heb je dat meisje nog gezien of gesproken? Veel succes in Oudshoorn! Opa en ik waren daar in 2006, o.a. op een Struisvogelfarm. Lieve groetjes L.

Hoi Nick , Ja afscheid nemen doet altijd een beetje zeer, maar dat hoort bij het leven. Nu weer gereed voor een nieuw avontuur spannend. Je hebt wel een voordeel nu, als het wat moeilijk word omdat je iets niet begrijpt of iets anders laat je gewoon je geheim wapen knallen, dan vragen ze niks meer, geweldige scheet prachtig verhaal. Dikke kus Bompa en Oma.
