Day 81: J-Bay
We need a vacation. Ha! This hilarious ‘necessity’ was realized on Friday, sitting in our leaky and cold Blokhuys cottage, waiting for the rain to stop and Paul’s knee to heal. More rain was scheduled for Saturday and Sunday and Rocklands was getting lonely. Most of the climbers were escaping their soggy tents and heading to (or were already in) Cape Town for the weekend. Our spirits were anything but psyched. And to make matters worse (for him, anyway), I had developed the habit of calling Paul “Peg Leg” because of his straight-legged limp. Peg Leg and I needed a vacation from our vacation.
So we decided to do what we always decide to do when faced with a non-psyched situation. Bail! We got some travel tips from a Cape Town climbing buddy, packed up the chico and hit the road early Saturday morning for a 10 hour trip to the east coast of South Africa. Our destination: the surfer’s paradise of Jeffreys Bay or “J-Bay.”
And here we are! Lounging, resting, healing, eating good food, drinking good wine, and staring off into the Indian Ocean, occasionally dreaming we were surfers, not climbers, haha.
