Holiday Fun

It seems to me that this year is just disappearing before my eyes and before I knew it I looked up and exams were over; it was holiday again. Back in the days of highschool when holidays were only four weeks long it seemed as if the holiday was always jam packed full of activities or farm related duties and I invariably went back to school more exhausted than ever.

Then I went to varsity and suddenly everything changed. July holidays were suddenly two months long and being stuck on the farm in Carolina became a living nightmare but staying in the ghost town which Stellenbosch becomes during holidays was even worse.

This year is different though because my mom has finally moved down to the Western Cape like all the other sane South Africans who enjoy having clean towns, proper roads and government officials who aren’t robbing you blind. This means that I now get to spend my holidays in Gordon’s Bay, which is close enough to Cape Town to be awesome but far enough so that you don’t have to be a snooty rich snob to afford just being alive.

So now my holiday is jam packed with all the amazing vistas, fun playtime and exquisite meals and I have been thoroughly enjoying every second of it. I have therefore decided that from now on I would like to climb into bed at night, thoroughly exhausted because I have been doing all the best things which Cape Town has to offer.

And that way I will guarantee that when December creeps up on me, I will have loads of amazing memories to remember this rather important year by.
