It was literally a ‘wild’ start to the day. There were plenty of amazing creatures active this morning. It’s still hard to believe that all of this is literally just outside our accomodation.

After breakfast some of us went to the Kragga Kamma cafe for coffee and chat. Afterward, we walked around the catwalk close to the wild cheetah enclosure and explored the area near our accommodation. We played some drama games with Miss Erasmus and Mr. Thomas outside the Cheetah Lodge. Eventually, the time came to climb aboard the bus and we left Kragga Kamma Game Reserve to go to Jeffrey’s Bay for the day.

The bus ride took about an hour and we all listened to music and sang along. Upon arriving at the Surf Village at Jeffrey’s Bay, everyone got out of the bus and we were really excited to get shopping and go down to the beach. We hit as many discount stores as time would allow. At 3 o’clock, the group went down to check out the beach. The water at the beach was FREEZING at the beach but everyone still had a great experience and didn’t want to leave.

After warming up and getting changed from the beach, we drove back straight to Sardinia Bay Beach in Port Elizabeth. We climbed to the top of some huge dunes and arrived just in time for the sunset. We sat on the beach for our nightly ‘debrief’ of the day’s events. It was a short and sweet debrief tonight, as today was a day designed for relaxing. We mostly discussed our day and plans for the days ahead of us. Once the sun set we went to dinner. We went to Nando’s for a delicious dinner. We then returned home in preparation for the next day.
