Summit Team pt. 3

We had a busy but amazing week. 
Here are a few adventures that were had:

We went shopping at the Bruma Market (for Amber and I’s third time). Shopping is always fun but the best part was lunch. Matt, Jackie and I fell in love with Turkish shwarmas, which was basically a chicken, lamb or beef wrap. It was delicious! Matt loved it so much that he got a second one. This is a picture of Jackie and I with the owner, Yuksel. 




A Proposal. Amber and I with the help of the team wrote a list of reasons why we needed the Condor. We fell in love with the car even with all its quirks (like not being able to unlock the door with the clicker). We had a good time racing on the “dancing roads,” which are dirt back roads named by the locals because you are forced to dance up and down in the car as you go over the many bumps. Lets just say the Condor can handle it a little better than our Corolla. Please ask the team about the awesome ride I gave them one day.. I found a new love for off road mudding!!



Amber and I enjoyed giving the team cultural experiences and what better way than by trying new foods… “little gems of the citrus family” are eaten with the skin and all. When Amber and I purchased the fruit, the man said to eat quickly because the skin was sweet and the inside sour – as you can see from our lovely faces. Kumquat anyone?



We went on a safari in the Pilanesberg Game Reserve. We were able to see warthogs, mongoose, elephants, hippos, rhinos, zebra, giraffe, baboons, wildebeest, and many antelope type animals (including springbok the national animal). The animals and landscape of Africa are just beautiful.




Darin entertained us all with the sign game... he would interpret what the different signs on the side of the road meant. This was quite hilarious as we drove around the city.
