Were there Hippie’s in the 80’s?

So after two weekends in JoBurg, we have decided to spend one in Pretoria. But we can’t just do nothing on the weekend. We have to do something crazy. Something like going on a double decker open top party bus with 100 people that we don’t know! The theme is 80’s but really just look ridiculous and you’re in! We started the night laughing at how ridiculous all of us look in our 80’s/Hippy outfits.

We were picked up by friends of one of the guys in our group’s friend. The drivers took us to a restaurant/bar where we had dinner with 100 other people. Well when I say we had it with them I really mean that we had it after them because we were the last to get out meals and by the time our food finally came we were being told to get on the busses. Ok fine we finished as quickly as possible and loaded on the bus we were assigned to. Lucky us we got the bus with no music because they forgot the sound system. What is a party bus with no music you may ask? Well it’s just a bus, but there’s alcohol and people ready to have a good time. So we made our own music. Some may not call the singing that we did music, but it was fun none the less. We stopped at one point to go to a bar. The place wasn’t the big and once all 120 of us got in there it felt ever smaller. But it was a good time none the less. Then we loaded back on the busses, only this time we were on the music bus. Everyone was having a great time and we were meeting a lot of really fun people. They were all very entertained by the fact that we were all so ready to party and have a great time.

They were also intrigued as to who we were since they did not know us from the hockey club that they were all a part of. After another stop at another bar, and back onto the busses for some more partying, we finally arrived back to the restaurant/bar that we began our journey at. Everyone was up for some more dancing now that we had more space to do so. I sokkied with a few people and had a great time just hanging out and being sober while everyone else would be trying to remember what they had done the night before. Around 1:00 we left the bar and were all taken back to Tuks Dorp by people from the party bus who were not drunk beyond belief. I arrived in the first car but could not get into my room because Luc had my purse which had my keys to my house and room in it. So I chilled with Jeff in his room while I waited for Luc to return. When he finally got home so did Caitlin, Lora, Lay Kuen and our friend Giacomo from JoBurg. Some people needed some taking care of so I stuck around to help out. Then after some interesting conversations and situations I went to bed completely exhausted. But alas it was another successful night, and I have some great pictures to prove it!
Peace, Love, and Jesus
