Thursday
Today was the day…
We got more photos from David. He gave us an extensive catch up yesterday and I saved all the photos, but then the whale grabbed my attention & with that being the most exciting sighting of a whale in all my life, it took precedence (sorry David!) So from what I can gather Tuesday David cycled 90km, yesterday 60km and today 100km! So he’s really been moving through South Korea. He said today was really hard as there was a mammoth uphill section and he was exhausted so he went against everything in his head and listened to his body and got off and walked! But the view at the top was epic and the restaurant at the top fed him well. His expression says it all…
South Korean breakfast for a hungry South African – I thought it looked pretty bad. David says he’s burning through so many calories, all and any food he eats doesn’t touch sides. He knows he’ll be hungry in a couple of hours. (Don’t ask what that grey sludgy stuff is!)
Then from the last few days and maybe weeks in South Korea, he just sent me a whole batch of photos. So this is quite the photo dump. It’s for the future when we want to look back
That’s his fold-up bike and the rucksack on the back contains all his worldly
He also went to the Seoul Olympic village (Seoul hosted the Olympics in 1988)
So that’s David’s news. It’s crazy because time is zipping by and he will be in Johannesburg in a couple of weeks. He’s not coming back to Cape Town immediately.
For the rest of today, Mike and I went to the follow up appointment for the Moderna vaccine trial. I worked for 5 hours and Mike rewired one of the lights in the cottage which the electrician missed. A productive day for sure.
Meanwhile, as I write, Elsie is at her first sport’s day!
Ecclesiastes 2:26
God gives wisdom, knowledge, and joy to those who please Him.
The best is yet to come – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip,
