Its Workaway time

I’m spending lots of time with Cherine who is full time permanent and pretty much the back bone of the hostel. Lucky for me she's relaxed and i enjoy working with her .

One of the hostel old cats Felix, has been unwell with a tumour in his tummy and he’s lost a lot of weight. Sadly today was the day Felix was due to be put down.
I accompanied Cherine to the vets so she wasn’t alone, she was so upset - and we stayed with Felix and said our goodbyes whilst he slipped away.
Felix was 14 and a legend - a sad day
Glad I got to meet him though .
Hayley and Braam - the hostel owners invited me out to a local tapas bar for its closing party, which was so much fun, and i met a lot of local people. We really got on well - its a shame they are off on holiday tomorrow so i wont see them for a month.
Im learning to find my way around here, the house is huge and also consists of a couple of other properties across the road. Max occupation is 70 - it makes me quake to think what it would be like if it was full!
As its winter here we have open fires burning and sunshine outside, the best of both worlds.
The resident animals, Jock and Ellie are great company and the whole vibe is very realxed here. Its more than a hostel, the rooms are beautifully decorated and much though has gone into making it a more of a home, lots of pictures, books, fire pit, braai, and friendly faces.
Tonight im doing my first eveing alone here, im a little nervous but hey, what could really go wrong?
Once im a little more settled theres plenty of activities and walks to do, its such a vibrant area and i cant wait to explore it more.
