On Friday night we finally got to meet Erik and Isaac as we all went for a meal along with Ronél. It was a pleasure to meet them both and hear all about their trip to Geneva. Isaac’s heart-warming story really shows just how much the Pearson Foundation is achieving; 4 years ago Isaac couldn’t use a computer and now he’s given a talk to the UN! The atmosphere was great; good food, good chat, good company!
The next day it was time for shark cage diving with Ronél. It truly was an amazing experience. The boat took us 15 minutes away from the shore, close to Hermanus, and then bait was thrown into the sea to attract the sharks. 4 people at a time climb into a cage attached to the side of the boat, so we could go underwater and see the great white sharks up close. Fortunately for us the weather was fantastic and it was like totally an awesome day like!
On Sunday we were up early to climb ‘Lion’s Head’ Mountain with Erik and Ronel. Who’d have thought it would be scarier than shark cage diving! After an hour and a half it sure did feel like an achievement to reach the top and see the breathtaking views. Erik departed for Morocco, however Ronél and ourselves then went to eat in Blouberg and eventually, spontaneously ended up going quad biking! Yet another brilliant experience that we must repeat with Erik. To top the whole weekend off it was then time for ice cream and to lie on the beach at Blouberg in the scorching weather…. and apparently it is meant to be winter here!!
We’re enjoying our time here so much and we’d really like to thank the team for making us feel so welcome and helping us have such a great life changing experience.
