today is my last day in europe. its a really strange feeling because i have been here for so long that it seems like the end of my trip. the reality is im not even halfway through. this is by far the most exciting part for me because i get surf the rest of my trip. south africa should be super cool because dan is going to show up and we are going to wander about, surf jbay and cape st. francis. im not sure what to expect of it because ive heard so many dangerous stories of africa but im pretty sure that i will be able to handle it. i think the biggest question mark lies in transportation, but i think i will just rent a car once i am in durban and drive the coast with dan. stay in port elizabeth and cape town for a few days each and then return back to durban. the other thing is im going to have to find out how to get to the house im staying at in durban because the people arent going to be there ( they are on a road trip to the famous delta in botswana). once again i have another long flight, madrid to frankfurt, frankfurt to jburg, jburg to durban. i have almost 24 hours worth of travel but i think ill get over it as soon as i get to durban. thats how long travel always is. still cant believe im going to africa
