With the end of the semester, some of us unfortunately had to leave to their respective home countries. Saying farewell was always hard. Usually, the shuttle bus pulled up outside the Dining Room right after breakfast, and those of us who are lucky enough to stay constituted the good-bye committee. The second semester started, and we increased our travelling. The Coromandel is, as we soon found out, a really nice peninsula.
Birthdays are nice as well.
We had many of those, and they were always a good occasion to have some serious fun. Hartmut and Cec were the first of us to go to the East Cape and they found some nice dunes. The first thing that sprung to their minds was of course to jump off these, see the results for yourself. I think they really enjoyed it. To practise what they had learned at the Indoor Climbing Gym, Cec, Jenny and Hartmut went to Froggatte Rock .
