Gap Year Experiences

Updates and info from on the ground during our 11 week and 5 week Experiences in South Africa

S.A. INK and a bit 'a wine tasting

The past week has brought out a 'wild' streak in the Pepper group.
On Wednesday four members of the team marched down to WildFire piercings to get several pieces of their body mutilated, including tongue bars which have provided wicked entertainment for everyone else because listening to someone try to speak with a newly pierced tongue is comical genius.
I on the other hand thought it would be an excellent idea to visit the tattoo department and get my first bit of ink (and I'm not gonna lie it looks pretty awesome).
On Friday I sat through an hour of heavy metal music as the tattoo artist patiently drew out my swallow design at the base of my neck...although it was painful it was still tollerable and I can definately see how people catch a bit of the "ink-fever".
In the evening we payed another visit to Assembly, and this time THE WHOLE GROUP made it there in one piece, RESULT! Vince came to say his farewells, randomly bringing with him a tray of small chicken pies, and dancing with numerous girls inside.
We all woke up Saturday feeling worse for wear, but we got ourselves together to visit three vineyards for a bit of wine and cheese tasting. I was much more interested in the cheese, but Hugh was totally in his element and bought twelve bottles along the way!
The group decided to do secret valentines (which is just like secret santa) so that we could all wake up to a present of some sort this Valentines day. Jake woke up to chocolate waffles from Liv, Ed and Hugh received poems from Georgie and I and Ed excelled himself by giving Georgia a big pink fluffy cushion emblazoned with the word LOVE. Awwwww
Next week we hope to finish the out-building at Ubuntu. Painting has finished now so there is a sense of accomplishment amongst everyone and we are looking forward to giving the kids a wicked place to have meetings and just chill.
Speak soon
