Kalk Bay

I’m such a slacker! I just realized that I never shared photos from my Kalk Bay visit with the Mankes and MacGowans! Sorry about that!

Me with friends, new and old!
I managed to head to the waterfront while they were having a naval exhibition.
Bet'cha didn't know about the South African penguins!
I got really close!

As you can see, I had a really good time. It was great to be amongst old friends and YWAMers again. I got the chance to hang out with some of the DTS students from all over Africa and had a blast with them. We explored Cape Town a bit, but I spent most of my time bumming around Kalk Bay. Can I tell you that had I known this place existed, I may not have committed to staying in Joburg? In this laid back, small town atmosphere I felt like myself for the first time in a long time. I think it had something to do with being so close to God’s creation, seeing others who wear flip flops everyday, talking to strangers on the street, wandering through independently owned bookshops where the person working there could recommend something to ya, and not feeling like you’re being watched or followed. Yeah, I miss those days …

And, there was the amazing food … thank God for the Brass Bell and Olympia Café … they may be the reason I return to Kalk Bay before leaving South Africa for good.
