We went canoeing tonight. We were supposed to partake in the weekly timed trial of 10 km around the vlei, but there was lots of traffic due to the major forest fire raging right now. The view of the fire was stunning but also very sad.
I paddled with another novice! She is also an exchange student from the United Stats. It took us a few tries (i.e. we capsized like five times), but eventually it clicked and we were able to paddle all around the vlei and in the canals, where there are beautiful houses right on the water. Couples were going around in their paddle boats, birds were everywhere, and it was simply an awesome place to paddle.
