The very last weekend of my exchange in South-Africa has arrived. I can’t believe how fast these last two months have gone by. How many things I have experienced and done and how many nice people I’ve met. The first goodbyes have to be said at the beginning of next week already and soon, I will have to start packing my bags.
I spent my last weekend with my mom, who was staying with her cousin in Cape Town. The brother of my grandpa moved to South-Africa when he was 17 years old and he lives in Johannesburg now. His daughter lives in Cape Town. She lives in a very nice house near the beach, with her husband and two kids. The whole family loves going to the beach, the children are training to become lifeguards and their dad surfs every day. On Friday night, we went out for supper to a typical South-African restaurant, called Moyo. There was live music and the whole atmosphere gave me this African feeling. The food was really nice and I got to know my family, whom I had never met before. I was very tired from the week so as soon as we got home I went to my bed.
On Saturday, I learned how to pedal board at Small Bay. The weather was good and the sea was quite calm. I got a few waves and loved the surfing experience. Afterwards, we went home and had a really nice braai. We ate outside, next to the fire, which was really nice. The food was lovely, and then I realized that this was my last braai in South-Africa...
Sunday morning was a very relaxed morning. We went to see the shop of my mom’s cousin and afterwards we went to the beach again. The children had their lifesaving class on the beach, while their dad took me pedal boarding again. The weather on Sunday was a whole different story. The sea was wild! As good as it went the day before, as bad did it go on Sunday. I didn’t catch a single wave. It was still a very fun day. Around 3 o’clock we went to the ‘Twelve Apostles’ for afternoon tea with Loren’s family. The Twelve Apostles is a beautiful hotel with a lovely sea view on Camps Bay. My mom and her sister got to know my host parents, enjoying a lovely cup of tea and delicious sweets and sandwiches. I went home with my exchange family and my mom and her sister went back to where they were staying. I said goodbye to them, because the next time I would see them was back in Holland.
