Ginge Hits The Road to George and Back

Good Morning to all you our faithful masses.

Thousand apologies to you all for the ridiculously long time since our last posting – I won’t even waste time coming up with excuses cause none of them will be good enough – please just accept our humble apologies and accept the complimentary headshot of Ginge we will be posting to you.

Since last we spoke the Ginge brand has grown even greater in its following. As we promised in a previous article the Ginge team made their way up to George for the South African leg of the International Sevens Series.

It truly was an amazing experience! Arriving on the Friday the team did not even bother settling in any accommodation before making their way to Outeniqua Park to join in the Festivities! Upon his arrival GP was quickly ushers into the beer tent, met some locals, signed some bare breasts and finally arrived at the Wellington Brandy chalet. Only in South Africa can so much ‘Anger juice’ be so willingly and quickly consumed!

The rugby on display from the teams was simply awesome – Fiji in particular were sensational on the first day and much love to the Stormers own Sereli Naqualavuki – the man is a legend in the making!

Our accommodation, naturally complimentary, was also something special – amazing views, good company, food and beverages – that kind of stuff isn’t just available to mere mortals – it takes something special to get that out in the middle of the Boerland!

The second day flew by quickly and after a couple cold ones at Dros the team headed out on the town to spread the love. It was a big night for George, not only was Ginge in the house but with the lighting of their Christmas lights and Danny K busting out a carol or two there was a real sense of celebaration in the air.

With Little Nate and Captain Roux as our guides we settled in at a nice little vibe called Zanzibar. The booze was cheap, the women (Afrikaans but) beautiful, the Portuguese team good okes, but then... the dancing, die dancing was ‘onbeloofluk’(forgive me ma).

Did you know?!?!? ‘Langarming’ – i.e. old skool sokkie dancing actually happens!?!
Did you know?!?!? One man with a guitar replaces a whole sound system in a Dutch Club!
Did you know?!?!? The leeuloop is the number one requested and played song in George!

After five minutes of just simply standing in awe of the whole Afrikaans experience the team settled in for a nice chilled night of self promotion and hunting before heading back to the Wilderness accommodation.

The team would like to thank our sponsors, the South African team, Kabamba Floors, Nathan & Chantel Raath, the people of George, baby girl, Wellington, thefourth.com and everyone else who added to our excuse for a two day party!

Much love and Christmas tidings to you all.

oh, and pics will follow when I'm not working for a computer that was born before me...
