Amazing Race- J’Bay Style

Posted by: Lindsay

Jeffrey’s Bay, South Africa is a beautiful, beautiful town with so much to offer.  The weekdays in J’Bay are FULL to the brim…wake up at 7am, get to Ithemba by 8…serve breakfast to the kids and then head into the classrooms to teach (or help the teachers) until 11.  We work this way until 4:00 when the kids get their free time (and we get to run around and play games with them.)  By 5:00 when we get home…we are hungry and tired…so, when a new group comes to SA, we like to give them the chance to explore Jeffrey’s Bay and the surrounding areas on the weekends.  For this group, we decided to try something new…and it was a blast!   Last Saturday morning, we all woke up early and handed out the challenge…a race around J’Bay- starting at Ithemba and ending with a group Braai…along the way, we highlighted all of the best that J’Bay has to offer…here are a few pictures from along the way-the group did everything from burying each other in the sand, eating Biltong, and a scavenger hunt through the beach.  It was a fun filled day that got us ready for the busy week ahead!  Next Saturday, we are heading to the Lion Park where everyone will have the chance to play with baby lions!  Check back for pictures :)

1st Challenge: Eat a Walky Talky

2nd Stop: J'Bay is the surfing capital of Africa: try on a wetsuit @ Billabong

Stop 3: Eat an ice cream at Steers: soft serve tastes like cake icing here!

Stop 4:  Take a picture with a surfer

Stop 5:  Dip your feet in the Indian Ocean (or get all the way in even though it is freezing!!)

Last Stop: A sun filled/fun filled BRAAI!
