On 3/27/10, our group was able to go to Ushaka, one of the most popular water parks in Africa. It is located right on part of the Indian Ocean in Durban. It is very similar to Sea World, and it was so fun! The first slide I went on was the highest water slide in Africa...so much fun...but very scary! :) I figured I had to conquer my fear of heights now and get it all out of my system in preparation for bungee jumping off the world's highest bridge in a couple of weeks! At the park, we also went to the dolphin show, rode all the slides in the entire park, and walked through the aquarium. The aquarium at Ushaka is one of the biggest in the world. There, we all kinds of e
xotic aquatic fishes, turtles, and even sharks! I was even able to see the feeding time for the sharks and that was way cool! The entire day was so much fun. :) 
The next weekend on 4/3/10, we went back to Durban and got the opportunity to go to a Sharks rubgy game! The group got really excited and a bunch of us even painted "Go Sharks!" on our faces to show our team spirit! :) So much fun. The game was so amazing, and the players were so tough! It was the game opener for the Sharks, and it definitely was a good one! Th
ey played the Reds from Australia, and at first they were behind by alot at half time, but then they caught up and won by one point 30-29 in the end! On the way back from the game, our entire bus partied the whole way back! We played musci and danced the entire drive home...so fun! :)
These next coming weeks are going to be really intense for our entire group, because first we go on a cultural experience and safari for five days and then we're home at African Enterprise (AE) for one day and then we headout on the drive called the Garden Route towards Capetown to finish our time in South Africa for the rest of the semester!
My time here at AE has been amazing! The staff were so generous and hospitable, and I always felt well taken care of. But I am ready and excited to go to Capetown. We will have a lot more freedom there, and the city is gorgeous! It's often called the most beautiful city in the world! :) I hear it's just a great city to explore overall, and there is so much to see and do. So, until next time...
