Operation 'Bouncing Christmas Balls' - Day 2

Sowe woke up in Graaf Reinette bright and early and decided that we would go and see the famous valley of desselation just outside the town. We had some time as our next destination was the beautiful town of Knysna. We packed up & headed out. Wow what a site it was. We climbed up the mountain in our car, to see some of the most amazing sites. Firstly we got the most beautiful view of the town and then got to see some of the amazing rock formations that lead to a valley with just open plains. It was beautiful.
 
Off to Knysna it then was. What a trip driving through some of the baron land I have ever seen. We had it all planned out, what our navigator did not realise was there was a 80km dirt road, so detour was the orde of the day. All went good with a few moments of speed limits ignoring but all went good and we arrived in Knysna.
 
Along the way we got to drive past the forests of Tsitstikama (lush green forests), stopped in Plettenburg bay to get a bite to eat and finally arrived at the wooden cabins we were staying in at Knysna. After relaxing for a half hour or so we decided to head to the lagoon to see the famous Knysna Heads (the two mountains that form the opening to the lagoon. Then Robyn spoilt us and we went on the sundowner cruise boat for an 1,5 hour trip around the lagoon to the heads. It was really cool, except for the loud arrogant guys on the boat as well. When we got back we went and found (on the quays) a nice little Italian restuarant and had the most amazing pasta's. All good to end of a great day.

Holy Discontent - Bill Hybels

The author challenges us to say what is our / my Holy Discontent. What is that thing that you just feel I must do something about, at whatever the cost! He uses the example of a Mother Theresa in India, a Martin Luther King who said I cant stand for racism and inequality any more.

What did I take from this book? Well what is my Holy Discontent? What is that thing that drives me deep to the core and at whatever cost I must do!
