First something I have been meaning to put in a post for a long time. If anyone is ever interested in coming to South Africa you definitely should. There are two really really great things here that make it very easy to travel around relatively cheaply. The first is a great little book called the "Coast to Coast" which has all (or at least a very large number) of the hostels. This makes it very easy to (and total practical) to plan your trip as you go. The second is the Baz Bus. I have never actually used the Baz Bus, but it is a bus that goes from hostel to hostel, there are a bunch of ways that you can buy tickets but one of the most popular is to buy a ticket from Point A to Point B and then you can stop as many places along the way as you want. If you are interested in traveling less cheaply renting a car is very viable option (driving here isn't too bad, but it is on the left), and there are lots of B&Bs everywhere (which are normally really well signed as well). Plus the country is gorgeous and the people are incredible. And if anyone does make a trip down here and you want any inside knowlegde feel free to ask me!
Terry left on Thursday. It is weird to see someone that you have lived with all summer get on a bus knowing they aren't coming back. The Eden students were all singing and there was a lot of hugging and crying going on when he left. And now I have the farm to myself, although I have lots of plans for the weekend and I am going to move in with Suzi next week, so not to worried I am being taken care of.
And now I am off to the Friday night market!!
