Liebeskäfer (Love Bug)

As of around 4pm today I have 1/4 share in a love bug :) My house mates Dominik, Janina, Malte and I are renting a Best Beetle for 3 1/2 months. http://www.bestebeetle.co.za/index.php

I contacted the company last weekend and they arranged to pick us up from our house today at 3:30pm. Their office is located in the Norther Suburbs, just past the largest shopping mall I have ever seen. The fun thing about the bug is that we can paint it - any way we want! I cannot wait to have a tricked out hippie mobile.

It is quite the experience riding in a 40-60 year old bug. There are certain tricks to get the car running...just short of doing a rain dance and praying to Saint Herbie. But it runs really well and rides quite comfortably.

I am so excited to finally be able to see more than just Main Rd. in the Southern Suburbs of Cape Town! Adventure here we come!
