My Birthday is a Holiday

So, today (June 16th) is my birthday. What a present to land in South Africa and begin this adventure! What more could I ask for? Other people are also starting to arrive here at Gemini Backpackers, where we are having our orientations.

Today is "Youth Day", remembering a number of protesters killed almost 20 years ago. Many things are closed, like Memorial day in the USA.

It is cold at night here; really cold.
