London

I visited London for a couple of days and went exploring. I met some really fun people and had a great time. London is very interesting and full of history which I love.

A random group; an Italian, a German, a Brazilian and two Americans - one from LA

Cape Town, South Africa

I decided to travel down to Cape Town to see Derek who is now the Head Meteorologist for one of the TV stations in South Africa. It is a very beautiful place and as you can see we had no fun.....no fun at all!

Walk out of Derek's front door and there is nothing but water between you and Antarctica

Derek and I trying to act tough before we went for a freezing swim in the ocean



Enjoying a beer at a BBQ as the sunset ends

Having some of the best seafood of my life with Derek and Kat at Codfather

We climbed to the top of Lion's Head mountain to catch the sunset





Cape Town has about 4 million people, its very spread out

We rode the gondola up to Table Top mountain

Surfin' Time...

...or not, that's right ladies I had to fend off a shark to save three, cute, little puppies!

The Dr. was good, only 6 stitches
