Finally the pictures have arrived!!!

This photo was taken once I settled into my home-stay. Mom you would be proud of me, I established my space and have kept it relatively organized. It is a small room about the size of an large bathroom, but there is enough room for me to sleep in a nice single bed and do my yoga every morning.

This is the Bloukrans Bridge. I believe it is the largest bridge in the southern hemisphere and possibly even the world with a height of about 216m (700ft) to the tip of the arc. This is the home of Face Adrenaline, the company that owns rights to all bungee jumping done from this bridge. The bridge is located on the Garden Route, which is a scenic route through the Western Cape right on the coast of South Africa.

Here I am jumping off the bridge. It is the world highest commercial bungee jump and everyone who jumps the 700ft ties the world record for highest bungee jump. I also have a video of the jump which I will try to post as well. BTW it was well worth the R650 (~USD80).

We went on a game drive at the Bottlierskop Game Reserve during our first weekend in South Africa. We stopped there on our way along the Garden Route which in all took three days. I have seen a giraffe and rhino before but I guess its just different when you see them in Africa.

This picture was actually taken on our game drive, when we were at the top of a mountain overlooking the whole reserve. It was beautiful, but each day and each trip the views get better and better, so I guess it is just one more incredible view of the South African mountainside.

This is actually the view from my bedroom window. There is a primary school which you can see in the foreground and Table Mountain in the background.

During our trip on the Garden Route we stopped at the Knysna Elephant Farm and got to walk side by side to some pretty incredible animals.

This picture was taken before a canopy tour we went on during the Garden Route weekend. We were attached to zip lines and flew across the african forest canopies.

Mama Africa. We found this place in downtown Cape Town that had live african music. They were incredible and played instruments from the conga to the xylophone, and even sang opera-like during their performances.

During the Garden Route trip we stayed at the Wilderness Hotel right on the Indian Ocean. This picture of the sunrise was taken one of the many early mornings we had on our trip.

Just a breathtaking view of the African mountainside.

One of the first days in Cape Town, we went the University of Cape Town to get our ID badges for the hospital. This is a picture from the front steps of the University down to the city. You can see the mountain range in the background.

We went to the Kango Caves which are these million year old caves that are now open for tourism. The lower picture is of me climbing up what they call Devil's Chimney. It is a thin hole in the caves that you must climb up that is literally less that 1ft in diameter.

Last weekend we went winetasting in Stellenbosch and climbed Table Mountain (over 3000ft high). I have pictures coming soon for those as well.
