A big whale of a time

Do you know where I could get sea sick meds. Because, well I might as well start from the beginning. The day started early. Because we had to get on a boat. The boat was for something watching, whale watching!!! It was pretty amazing we got to see lots of whales. The whales got so close to us we could almost touch them. Lets just say the fishy's got to have eggs for breakfast (the bad part is, is that Ben got to feed the fishy's with his breakfast). I felt a little sick but I was not bad.  Then we went for lunch at the Ocean Basket. We went on another boat to see hippopotamus, croc and a leopard. The hippopotamus was very fat/big. The leopard and croc was amazing!! Then I came back ate dinner and me and my guest blogger sat down and are writing to you here is a little something from my guest blogger: 

Hi every body.It's Georgie. I hope you know, that you have to come to Cape Town. Because  its so much fun.

Love,

Georgie

I send my love to all of you as well

Love,

Sarah

Driving Zulu Crazy

Today we started out driving. We drove to a place called hluhluwe (pronounced ;;;;;;;:7--/&;;$,&$8:!:  ). Check out your window to make sure that there are no giraffe or rhino well I did and saw something. If you just look out the window in South Africa there is always a new adventure just waiting for you and I am telling you my adventure of the day. The day really started when we got out the car we were in the car because we were driving from place to place. When we got out of the car we had a late lunch. Then we got in the car again and drove to a traditional Zulu village. The village was very cool. It was like how they used to do things. Like little huts, they told us about their religion and they showed us things that they used in the olden days. At the the end they did a traditional dance for us that they usually do at weddings and special occasions. Then we came back and had dinner. Now I am blogging for you right now.

I miss you all so much

Lots of love, 

Sarah 

P.S: my favorite line of the trip happened a couple of days ago. So Sophie had finished crying and mom had told uncle Steven to tell to Sophie " you have the right to cry I have the right to not listen so go in another room". Sophie started to cry again so uncle Steven said " you have the right to cry I have the right not to listen so get out".

Spy Glass

Today did you happen to see wilder beast, zebra, impala and giraffe. Well I did today we went on a hike to see lots of animals in the bush. We Got a tour Gide and everything (accept the fact that no one could understand him). We got to see lots of animals and there dung. It was gross and cool at the same time! Then we ate lunch. Then we went to the play ground and found rocks to climb on and made forts. In the next hour we started to go on a game drive. On the game drive we got to see more animals. It was beautiful and we got to see lots of animals that are not in America (the animals are listed at the top). Then we went back and had dinner and now I am blogging for you.

Pfffffffffffffff ( as said in wilder beast Language)

Invasion of the horses and monkeys

Today started out like a regular day, sunny and nice out side. Then we went horse back riding. Me and Georgie rode terrorists. mine was named bin laden  and Georgie's was saddam.  Me, Ben and Georgie's horses were always the last three in the pack.  But the guide kept going without us.   At one point, Georgie and my horses stopped altogether.  We had fun on the trail without our parents.  

After lunch, we went to the park and there were a troop of baboons!  10 feet away from us.  Go check and make sure your doors are locked before you go to bed.  Because the baboons can open doors and mess up your house. After the baboon encounter we sort of hung around.

Just before dinner we went went to a sheeben (sheeban is a mud hut which  is an illegal liquor store that villagers use).  On the outsides of the mud houses they carve in to the mud to make design. It looks like they use forks to make the design.

Tomorrow is a road trip day so you may not hear from me.

I miss you all so much and I will continue to miss you 

Lots of love, 

Sarah 

A big shout out to Eden. Braai is like barbecue. It is also amazing to see my cousins for the first time in a year.

Cheep-cheep and walking

Our eyes were just opening to see the world.  Never had I heard such a noisy group of geese ): To the show we went the flying show a BIRD show! It was amazing it was superb it was stunning.  They let the birds fly in the sky but they did come back (most of them). They were letting one of the birds go called a falcon go fly and they could not get him back down to ground. We went on  hike to a beautiful  waterfall. Then we came back and fed the bunnies. Came home made a braai ate dinner and now I am blogging to you.

From your fan,

Sarah/ Squiggles         (:

Cousins

                                               Yesterday

Yesterday day the day of sight seeing and seeing my cousins!!!!!! We went sight seeing "they were beautiful seats we got to sit in". I even got my own window and every thing! We even stopped at a grocery store and got food and lunch!!But the best thing was that we got our own vehicle and we were in it for 7 hours! It was a car we were stuck in for 7 hours.   It was not exciting ):

              

                                       Today

 Today we went on a hike in the morning.  we wanted to go to the bushman paintings but someone else wanted to go to the Sphinx but we ended up going to the bushman paintings in the end. Then we went back to our house and ate lunch. Then we played soccer and played chess. Then we braai with chicken and chops. And now I am blogging .

I miss you all sooooooooo much and I will continue to miss you.

Sending my love,

Sarah Sollinger (:

Sending a shout out to Eden: 

We missed Oxbow because, in the end, there was no Oxbow.  Literally, Oxbow was not there.  It is on the map, but the village seemed to have moved. It is cold at night but during the day it is very nice. We are coming back on July,11 2013

Lesotho

Today, the day of adventures. It all began with the words of wisdom coming from my mouth "mommy I'm hungry when will we get breakfast" I wined. The breakfast was  pretty good (a breakfast of the kings: eggs and tea). The day had just started. To the town we went, we stopped at a bakery to pick up stuff for picnic lunch. After that we moseyed over to  a very nice blanket shop (very persuasive people because we got 3 blankets). 

From the blanket shop, we hit the road.  Up & over up &over went the car with the cool people.  Putin' on their shades (mostly me I was in the sun). We were driving and suddenly we saw a ski resort with a full blown ski slope (just remember we're in the middle of Africa).  Before we left We had stopped at a store and bought 4bags of  maize meal (which is like matzo meal so don't leave Sally by her self with it). We drove for hours to see a town called oxbow it was beautiful besides the fact that we never got there.  apparently you don't need much to get on a map. So the cool people  started to drive down the mountain. Then they saw a group of people that were very poor ( I don't think I mentioned that the country Lesotho was very poor). We took the maize meal and gave them the 4 boxes. They were sooooooo happy!!!!!!!! We started down the mountain and had dinner at Bens favorite place Nandos. Now the cool people are at their hotel at lions rock.

I know all this info about the cool people because I am one of them(:

By-by, adios, shalom and tot sins

Albino Lion

After I blogged we went on a trip in a trip. The day was blue and you could hear the lions. The lions were hungry (very hungry). We were headed in their direction the wind was in our faces and the sights were good. Our tour guide was  at first not explaining much  but then it began. We got 10 feet away from them. They could eat 400 kg.  a day, one of the lions was looking at me and thinking "yumm lunch" but in my case I am more like a tooth pick. There were 12 of them. Today was feeding day, we got to watch it all ( they ate cow).  The sun was setting so we started to head home but we made one more stop.We stopped at the albino lion cage. We can safely say my dad made a new friend. The travelers  were watching with suspense to see what the lion was going to do. And sure enough the lion did something it did something surprising. The lion ran at my dad ( but  there was a metal fence in-between them . My dad ran like a little girl (it was a little funny) . Today was one of the best days ever!!!!!!!

Up up and away to lions rock

Yesterday we went on a 7 hour flight (but both me and ben threw up 2).Today we went a 10 hour plain ride (  luckily no one puked but ill get to that in a minute).  We got off the plane  and got in a car for 3 hours ):  But we got the most beautiful  place on earth!!!!!  At Lions Rock there are lions (of course), water buffalo , zebra and all sorts of buck. Today was awesome!!!
