My God time here is flying. It feels like just a few hours ago I went to pick Rethom up from the airport! Gees! And now it’s Saturday!
The past few days have been absolutely crazy what with running around and getting stuff sorted out for my new house. Shopping and fixing and sorting and more shopping and looking and sizing etc etc. I think I am about half way through now!
Did I mention before how much I love this city? Well I do! It is absolutely incredible. The people are amazing, service in every restaurant or takeaway I have been in so far has been nothing short of impeccable (with a polite smile), there is VERY little traffic and everything is 10 minutes or less away no matter where in town it is! Except for rush hour cos then its 13 minutes, but rush hour only lasts 25 minutes!
If I must find a complaint then it would have to be about how fast people get from one place to another. Although it is really handy and such a difference from the shit traffic one has to put up with in Johannesburg, the only downside to not spending a lot of time in my car is that I don’t get enough time to charge my phone anymore! 8) And if that is to be my biggest problem here, I ain’t ever leaving! I have been here a week and done a LOT of driving back and forth across town. I have only used half a tank of petrol so far!
It’s a much healthier lifestyle here too. People don’t just hang around in bars even though I beg them to! I have been going to the gym, played some tennis, had a braai with mates and been able to achieve a lot of housey housey stuff and I have only been here 1 week! If this is even half of what I have to look forward to then great, Hoox is a happy man!
If you don’t believe what I say about this place, come and see it for yourself. It’s kewl. Very kewl! And because it’s a beachy / university town, you very rarely need shoes and long trousers to go anywhere! My kind of vibe!
So if I don’t write as often as I used to, please just understand that it’s quite likely I’m outside flying or paragliding, or playing tennis, or at the gym, or learning to kite board, or learning to surf, or playing the guitar, or out photographing kewl stuff. I have watched TV once here and that was for about 20 minutes. There are much better things to be doing!
This is the new life. This is the new Hoox!
