A relaxing weekend.

We left Pretoria in a mad dash due to the fact that I was late, sorry. Once we where on the road I was noticing how close the crazy Swede was getting to the parked cars. When he nearly took one of the mirrors off a parked car I asked him, “Lets try and not take any mirrors off this trip.” Well he didn’t listen and continued to drive on the edge of every road we encountered. I felt like my mother, teeth clenched and eyes squinting, we finally pulled up to Sun City, South Africa a.k.a. Vegas. We entered hungry and hot from the ride. After eating an ungodly expensive meal at $20 a plate, we went to gamble. But half of us thought how stupid to trough your money away. You could be buying a meal with how much they just lost. Watching the four of them lose and gain what it would cost for the whole trip I finally sat down to play two hands. Once I had doubled up I left.
When everyone had finished gambling it was time to go. We got some very strange instructions to the hostel. It went something like this

Take a right out of the exit.
Drive 15 km, take a left at the road marked 565
Drive 20 km, take a left at a gravel road.
Straight, straight.
Stay to the right.
Right.
Take a right at the first road you encounter after the last right.
15 km and the hostel is on the right.
P.S. this is the short cut.

What? So we tried with all of our might to not anger the car behind us as we slowly got more and more lost in the bush. At one point there was an argument.
“This is not safe.”-Jess
“It is safer then walking home alone in Pretoria, all you have to worry about here is getting eaten by a large animal.”-Kell
“Whatever.”-Jess
After 20 phone calls 15 wrong turns and a dead end. We started to find our way to what we would call home. Once we arrived 2 hours late, we had 3 hours to sleep and be ready to go on a safari.

It is funny to think what a safari is? It is animals watching animals. So I watched an elephant and he watched me, I watched a giraffe, zebra, baboons, and hippos, and they all watched me. The only difference is they don’t have a camera and a nice Land Rover to ride in.

Once the three hour tour was over we speed away to Sun City. Keep in mind this is the fakest place in the world, there palm trees are even fake. But we had all be craving to lie in the sun at a beach, and that is what we did, laid on fake sand, next to a fake ocean that created fake waves. It was great.

On our ride home the other vehicle popped a tire and we found a dead cat in our bathroom. It was very entertaining but not very relaxing. I now know who I would like to travel with. There are some people who are to negative to let anything just happen.
