My BF grew up in Hout Bay when it was but a tiny village. He had sea, mountains and a forest all within walking distance of his house. Talk about idyllic!<br /><br />I often do buy book on Amazon, but for this trip I wanted instant access! Bad excuse really, but I didn't really know what I wanted, so browsing in the shop was cool.pohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00711119384786965311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3006461670144722868.post-14810857766073481182009-07-03T12:52:46.949+01:002009-07-03T12:52:46.949+01:00Totally psyched to write about growing up in Bergv...Totally psyched to write about growing up in Bergvliet, CT now. It seems like it might be boring for a child, but in comparison to growing up in today's cities, doesn't it sound idyllic? :-)<br /><br />Oh and btw, regarding a previous post on buying books, get them from amazon or ebay. I've bought all my favourite series for roughly £2.50 per book. It's a steal!Lopzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04746662835146630607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3006461670144722868.post-14346780147589367882009-07-03T12:19:16.940+01:002009-07-03T12:19:16.940+01:00Helen: I/the sherpa would be dripping with sweat a...Helen: I/the sherpa would be dripping with sweat at the top of the damn hill, but there was usually some sweet mom who recognised us and gave us a lift down again! <br /><br />Anon: aha! Well, yeah I am turning 29 in 2 months. As to living 2 min from the sea, I am so jealous! I really like the Bluff beaches, they were cool. You should go more often, seriously, you will miss it if you move away.pohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00711119384786965311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3006461670144722868.post-71565556357400416952009-07-03T11:59:16.930+01:002009-07-03T11:59:16.930+01:00hah I just turned 29 po-po, thank god no one has a...hah I just turned 29 po-po, thank god no one has asked me my age since then, I'll feel so weird to say 29, but I feel soooo young inside, you obviously close to my age, it aint so bad yet :PAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3006461670144722868.post-70655953718241681372009-07-03T11:51:41.557+01:002009-07-03T11:51:41.557+01:00I remember being trapped at home during the school...I remember being trapped at home during the school holidays because of the total lack of public transport.

I liked the pet store there.<br /><br />Anon: I am, er, 18. No, 22. Wah. I lie. I am old. I don't feel like admitting my age just yet. My birthday is in a few months, so maybe I will say then. But think, approaching the end of my 20's.<br /><br />Ladyfi: the boonies, haha what a cool word! I dunno, growing up in a suburb in Durban rather than in a city or in the country seems terribly boring to me.pohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00711119384786965311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3006461670144722868.post-83221907933823716692009-07-03T10:44:32.669+01:002009-07-03T10:44:32.669+01:00Sounds like childhood in the boonies everywhere!
