July 31st… woke up to a dull, wet and dreary day. Good thing… we woke up alive! Haha… no sign of any break-ins throughout the night. Our area was being especially monitored by ADT Security after yesterday’s incident and now that we’re staying in the house, what with us being foreigners in South Africa and all. Oy vey… thank goodness for ADT! So anyway, what to do today? Visit the Somerset Mall!!! Haha… us Canadians have been mall deprived. But really, it was a good day to stay inside because it was raining pretty constantly thoughout the day. We started the day with brunch at Mugg ‘n Bean, an awesome restaurant for delicious grub and lovely bevies. Nathalie, Kaitlyn, and Blomy joined us too. Then Blomy and Naty departed together to buy groceries for our dinner at the Roos’ later that evening. Scott and I went to book an appointment for a haircut. Sheesh… the water and weather in Namibia hasn’t been too friendly to my hair ‘cause I had split-ends galore! So while we were getting a hair trim, Kaitlyn met up with Naty again to do some shopping for warmer clothes. Poor Kaitlyn mostly brought along tank tops and flip-flops with her, so she was understandably cold all the time. Good time to introduce her to the wonderful world of Mr. Price! Holla!
Also in the meantime, Nigel and Joel were watching the new Batman movie, The Dark Knight.
After Kaitlyn and Naty’s shopping spree, they left us to go to Marijke’s high school choir rehearsal in Stellenbosch. Scoot and I met up with Nigel and Joel again. And guess what? We watched another movie! Haha… dinner was only at 8pm, so we had time to catch WALL-E on screen. It was a pretty cute movie and funny at some parts. I dug it.
After the movie, the four of us made way to Pick-and-Pay (a common grocery store in Africa) to get some wine and drinks for our dinner. Then we headed over to the Roos’. Ooo… upon stepping into the house, we were teased with the tantalizing aromas of dinner on its way. Blomy was the chef of the evening and might I comment that he was an excellent one at that. Haha… I highly doubt our meal was low in fat however, but it was scrumptious nonetheless. It was so nice to be able to enjoy a wonderful meal together amongst good friends. Thanks to the Roos’ for hosting us and kudos to the chef!
We rounded off the night with a few rounds of Dutch Blitz (does that come as any surprise?!) and showed Naty and Tessa the ropes about the card game. Although they didn’t volunteer to take part in the intense game, they were sufficiently entertained just watching Nigel, Joel, Kaitlyn and I go at it. Haha… our obsession with Dutch Blitz is a choir thang I suppose? Whatevs… that’s my excuse anyway. ;-p
YAY! WE’RE IN SA! Night night, y’all!
