A weekend in Woody Cape

This Blog needs an Update!

For a special matrics training, Rommel sent me from Somerset to Woody Cape, a nice holiday resort to the east of Port Elizabeth. A beautiful place - but no cellphone reception and no shops. Just a Dairy (which I visited) a kilometre away. Indeed a perfect place for a matrics training, away from all these distractions like facebook, mxit and so on... :) (Unfortunately for me too..)
Its lovely to enjoy the pure nature, with monkeys in the garden, or very old ship wrecks at the beach. I went for an adventure trip to climb some dunes at night and watched the sunrise in the morning. Beautiful!
Then I went from Woody Cape to King Williams Town, to the farm to pick up some software. On the way I also went to the traffic department -again- to finally get the papers of the car on my name. And, as everytime I go there, a surprise catched me! It was not possible to licence the car on my name the lady told me and I would need a new road worthy certificate to be able to licence the car on my name. Shock. I was not aware of anything like that; especially because I have got a licence disk until May 2011. So after some discussions and some explanations about volunteerism, we found a solution. I paid an amount of money and all problems were solved, I got new car papers on my name and a new licence Disk until 2012. Puuuuuhhh :D
Back in Somerset also new things happened.
I am now a regulary visitor of the Somerset prison. A student of my evening class works at the prison and is in charge of the prison choir who wants to perform at a competition in a few weeks time in Port Elizabeth. They've chosen a german song and so I go -when my schedule allows it- to the prison and help them. It is absolutely impressive how good they can sing and perform! Just the 'Ü' gives alot of problems... ;)
