Today I had a nice lay in. We had nothing to get up early for. We woke up got ready and the plan was to drive down to the Italian club and say goodbye to Selwyn. Unfortunately he wasn't there he phoned us later in the day to say we must have just missed each other as he was there not long after us. Oh well. We then headed to Somerset West, and more importantly to Cheetah Outreach. We had first heard about cheetah outreach when Lourens mentioned taking us there, plans were changed and we never got around to doing it. Until today. You can pay R5 to go in and walk about or you can pay R130 to go into the actual cheetah enclosure, roughly £6. Of course we wanted to get in there and at that price why not. We walked up to the place where the cheetah encounter was taking place. We were told the dos and donts and slowly made our way into the encounter. It was only a short chat and a stroke but at that price you can't complain. The cheetah was dozing off but apparently they can sleep up to 18hours a day, and if i was laying in the sun all day with people stroking my back is probably be quite sleepy too.
After the encounter we got lunch and headed to Berghof. We watched the Chelsea game before heading out and watching the Manchester derby. While we were out Joe invited us round to his. So straight after the game we jumped in the car and off we went. Tea, cake and a good film, a nice way to end 1 of our last nights here. With most of the Africa family asleep it was time to call it a night.
Tomorrow we are saying the rest of our goodbyes and then going to the Ajax Cape Town training ground. It'll definitely be a day of mixed emotions but the countdown is on and we will soon have less than 24hours until we leave.
