Winding, twisting our way from the beach bliss up to Hogsback was a treat, that was just starting. Monkeys, tropical forests, mountain views and thatched (sp?) roofs waited for us in our retreat at Away With The Fairies. Although it rained we still enjoyed a fireplace in our room and misted in views with monkeys hopping in the branches.
Back to earth, we went on our way to Coffee Bay and we seemed to finally enter Africa. Africa so far has been chilled out beach towns and swanky retreats, but to get to Coffee Bay we passed through rural areas where thatched roofs and mud brick homes passed by along with many moments of cow dodging, goats on the road and many a school child walking home. There were no more white people in these towns. Friendly faces waved at us, but our van must have stood out with its all white passengers.
Coffee Bay seems to be the place to party and relax for a few days or years. The theme party in the bar tonight is "Night of the Living Dead" and we have already had our free welcome drink. This is the circuit for recent frosh leaders and high school kids, but the high school ends there! In this circuit, no one is left out or made fun of. It is a real, friendly atmosphere. Could be the availablitiy of certain herbs, but that is just what we hear, something about Pondo Fever.
Okay. This keyboard has had one too many beers spilled on it. Too Sticky.
