You’ve done us proud!

Yes we may have not made it through to the next round and in doing so South Africa becomes the first host nation not to advance to the round of 16 of a Soccer World Cup. BUT we need to see the bigger picture here. With South Africa ranked 83rd in the world not many people even gave us a hope of scoring a goal, let alone beating France, former Champions and currently ranked 9^th.

Ever since Tshabalala's phenomenal opening goal of the tournament against Mexico any negative perceptions were blown away and Bafana Bafana showed the world what they were made of.

So if there are still any sceptics and cynics for that matter out there, whatever… Bafana Bafana, you’ve done us proud!

Reunion Island

A week into our trip now and we have definitely had our fair share of waves. The guys have had a nice taste of what Reunion has to offer, bummer they had to share it with all the locals… haha, but all good! The swell backed off a little today and after a session at St. Leu and a little lunch we headed just out side of town to a blowhole Jason and Dale had been to last time they were on the island. Pretty cool I must say and decided a little self portrait was in order.

I may not be into blogging everyday but Jason has so if you interested and want to see what we have been getting up to plus a few images go to The Africa Project Blog.

Counting myself lucky...

Three days into our trip and really enjoying Reunion. WOW this island is beautiful with so much to offer! Felt a bit of a tourism sales pitch coming on so will hold off on that haha. But seriously, besides the surf which is looking promising for the rest of the trip, Reunion is an amazing place! Todays forecast was not looking to great so we decided last night that we would have a really early start and do the long winding drive above St Gille to a scenic lookout. None of us really knew what we were in store for but can honestly say we were all totally blown away and felt like we were on top of the world! There are times in life when you find yourself reflecting and you realize just how blessed we are...
Like i said, charts are looking good so will keep you posted.
