So I haven’t posted anything of substance in a rather long time, and I blame that mostly on exams and the fact that I left my name on the wall of Scrumpy Jack’s in Observatory. They decided to leave it there because I managed to drink 5 liters of beer. Next time I think 7 is the goal! Sadly i don’t have any pics from that, they probably would have been a huge help in trying to figure out how/when I got home that night!
But enough of me telling you how drunk I was… On to more exciting things!
Last week Tuesday I decided that I would not be able to fit any more boring Science stuff in my head, so I decided to head up Devils Peak with a couple(literally) of friends. I just have to say that the walk up is just amazing, it puts Table Mountain to shame and I would recommend that you go right away, but I dont want to encourage too many people to go up because the quiet is half of the charm!
Black Label should pay me for this one right?
One of the huge highlights of the trip was the random meeting of Anna, a post-doc “Australian currently living in America” HIV researcher who caught up to us about a third of the way, asking “Is this the way up Table Mountain?” Of course in true South African Spirit we took her under our wing and it was awesome to have her along, chatting about Sciency stuff also helped me justify not studying…
Thats Anna looking all arty…
One of the coolest parts of the hike is that you can see the whole of Upper Campus from the top, its an interesting perspective to say the very least!
That trip was defiantly one of the better study breaks I have ever taken and I will be going back up there as soon as possible!
Have a look after the break for the rest of my photos…
Bad bad blogger…
