Adventures at the Cape

Today was an incredible day of adventure and fun! After a good night’s sleep, we (finally) got over the jet lag and kicked off the morning making final preparations for our retreat that we’ll be hosting while we’re here.

The rest of the day was set aside for our “fun” time in the city, so we spent the afternoon wandering around the Waterfront, doing a little shopping and taking in the sights. Here’s a few pics of our afternoon:

The ginormous ferris wheel that we rode in…talk about an amazing view of the Cape!

Me, hiding behind my little elephant friend (he was made entirely of beads)

This "little" guy was made entirely out of old Coke crates!

Gorgeous view of the waterfront...

We spent the evening taking a little journey to an area called Big Bay…and let’s just say, it was an “adventure” getting there. (that’s what happens when you leave 5 Americans in a car by themselves trying to navigate to an unknown area!) The good news is we have a great go-with-the-flow team, so we laughed the whole way there. And let me tell you, the drive was worth it…what a beautiful view, and incredible sunset we got to see there! Here are some pics:


Gorgeous rainbow…and if you look closely, you’ll see the faint remnants of a second one. That’s right, a “double rainbow!”


Beautiful sunset at Big Bay!


And I couldn’t help but post this video of Jana almost being attacked by the ocean. It’s hilarious:

                                         

Tomorrow we head off to Rocklands for the Southpoint Church leader’s retreat…the reason we’re here! I can’t wait to go create a fun environment for their hardworking leaders to get to enjoy, and to relax and feel refreshed. We likely won’t have internet at the retreat location, so I’ll be back in a few days!

Cheers! (gotta sound like I fit in here, ya know) ;)
