Thursday
Went to B's house after work to pick up my braids that she was giving me as a birthday present. She said she wanted me to plait them by my birthday so i don't look bad on the day, which naturally led me to ask: was my hair really looking that bad?
Went home to change.
Went to J's for supper and then afterwards we headed out to the Blues Room to watch Dr Victor. It was really nice dancing after a really long time. We were getting home and finally going to sleep around 3.30am, with the plan to wake up and leave directly for Maropeng at 7am Friday morning and thus the reason why she slept at my place.
Friday
Finally got startled out of sleep at 8.20am (whats that they say about the best-laid plans?). After grooming and breakfast, we were leaving the house 2 hours later. Why does that sound like those trips when we always used to plan to leave home soooo early and only get on the road after 8am?
Got to Sterkfontein Caves around an hour later, thank God we were late coz the place is only about 45km out of town.
It was actually quite nice and not as claustrophobic as i expected underground. Actually it was pretty chilly down there, but thank goodness there were no bats or other creepy-crawlies, atleast not any that i could see. Instead we saw many stalactites and stalagmites (aka amabere ga nyina mwiru), i learn that the ones with the g = ground so they grow from the ground, i can't remember what the other one.
