Gasp!) over to the sand, courtesy of Jay Jay. Besides Peter, Franco, and Carly, there were Carly\u2019s friend (Nicki), Girl Cousin, Guy Cousin, and Girl Cousin\u2019s Boyfriend (a.k.a. Muscle-Boy #2. The daughter of the guesthouse\u2019s owner [her name is Lynda] also has a boyfriend, who we nicknamed Muscle Boy). I was the first one I saw fall off the tube.<\/p>\n<p>Darn. When Girl Cousin, Guy Cousin, Girl Cousin\u2019s Boyfriend, and the driver of the boat came over to \u201crescue\u201d me, Ethan just randomly fell off the tube. Girl Cousin\u2019s Boyfriend took my place on the tube and rode with Ethan. The boyfriend stayed on the tube. Ethan fell off. That was the one time I got to wave the red flag, which was put in my care once I got on the boat.<\/p>\n<p>When Carly and Nicki went, I was sure one was going to fall off. No such luck. What about Girl Cousin, Girl Cousin\u2019s Boyfriend, and Franco? Nope. What about Girl Cousin\u2019s Boyfriend, Ethan, and Franco? No, once again, even though once they were really really close. Carly tried to waterski, but I wasn\u2019t watching so I don\u2019t know how she did.<\/p>\n<p>For supper, Jasper cooked up some chicken and we had a braai (a.k.a. BBQ). I think I ate too much.<\/p>\n<p>Ciao!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After shopping at Clicks- the chemist\u2019s- and Game- the Target- and checking out The Pizza Place, we drove home to the guesthouse to wait.
