Mermaid Tarzan, Starmen, Doctor and a Princess

Long stories short (I'm already in Goa, it's Christmas and I really want to focus on the Present now), in Port St Johns we explored the beach a little, went to a waterfall trek with two dogs and a Mermaid Tarzan, and I had the craziest talks with him in the evening. Since he was a kid he's been finding special stones and crystals. He said it felt like we've known each other before and he also sensed that with Paiju. To me he was definitely once a mermaid so from that at least. And he looked like a Tarzan. Also at Amapondo, there was another guy (17yo) who told me some interesting things or, of whom I got familiar vibes or something special. He told me he can sing, so maybe we're going to make some music together. I guess I'm connecting with young talents while I go.

Next stop, Durban, was an interesting mix of good luck and bad luck. We had booked two nights in Tekweni backpackers (nice and artistic place!!) and there were three girls, German, Swiss and Finnish in the dorm with us. We were tired and after dinner in a place called Mozambique (nice one) I was working with my laptop in the common area and Tuuli and Paiju were in the dorm. I needed to stretch because I didn't have proper place to do it in Amapondo (sure I did some stretching and dancing but I need to do it a lot these days) so I did some on the sofa while listening to something. The night was hectic because the staff and guests were drinking and they never went to a bar. But eventually everyone fell asleep. In the morning, some of the girls found small blood stains in their sheets and some told they were killing bedbugs the day before. Shiiieeet. Luckily there were none in my bed and we didn't spread our stuff so at least I was safe. Tuuli I think was safe as well, don't know about the rest, because we felt like moving out. After breakfast at Europe (?), a place just around the corner, we had a short room hunt going on, before stuff we needed to do that day.

While we were driving in the woods to get to the Sangomas, we had hit - or first of all nature had hit us with it's branches, so there were some scratches on the car already that we noticed a bit later. But while we were about to park the car about two kilometers away from the place where the Sangomas were, the car hit a fence with three metal things sticking out of it, so the car really got screwed. We decided not to think about it tonight but dealing with it later. Later was today now. Also our car was really dirty after a muddy ride, and the insides were muddy as well, because we were walking in the mud after parking the cars higher so that if it rained, we wouldn't be stuck there, so our shoes were a bit muddy, and when we walked to the car in the next morning in the mud, our muddy shoes were in the car. So a car wash (inside and outside), moving to another place and exploring Durban (or not, what I did).

While we waited for our car, I did my own things. I needed a picture for the Australian Visa, and some new clothes apparently, only followed my intuition, which led to two long skirts that I wanted to find, and a long shirt, very earthly coloured all of them. I also got something from Clicks, local pharmacy plus many things, for example more nail stickers, that I've already given to many young girls. Wherever I see those small and simple delicious and healthy baby foods, I get them (babies are not the only ones who should eat as they do) - so I got them, for the drive to Joburg. The other style is slowly killing us.

We got to this amazing place called Blue Sky Mining. It had an ocean view, two small pools (I swam a bit! Or not swam but swimyogad haha), beautiful settings and gardens and surf lessons and stuff, and there I met another starseed, thirty-something yo man who's mom is a witch. I would have loved to meet his mother, who also has many weird psychic and medium friends. And I had some interesting conversations with him. He told me he had sensed many spirits in his life, and not all of them felt good. But as a young guy he left the life of spirit and tried to live a normal one. Spirit says otherwise and he moved from his last apartment because of a spirit of a dead guy. In his moms house there are some signs of spirits visiting as well. I gave him my card and told him to write me when something happens. And in the future I would want to meet his mother. A real life witch. He told me some cool stuff that she does in the nature. Like blessing it and apologising for what we're doing to it. I kind of do the same. Blessing and thanking mostly. Like I do with everything. Also I feel like I once was a witch myself. Possibly got burnt, but probably not. I'm not afraid of fire. I hear that fobias come from past lives. I am a little bit afraid of water, but I have a few theories why would that be...

The next day we drove to Joburg. Picked Solly up at the airport, dropped Paiju to her dad's relatives and got to Homebase Melville, which was sooo nice! Tuuli and Solly stayed in leikkimökki (XD) - like a backyard cottage for kids, but it was real nice. I stayed in the *princess* dorm and three nights out of five the dorm (8 beds) was all for myself. Finally had my own space to do some dancing. It's way too hectic to try do it in front of people. So I stayed in quite a bit. The first day I was already buying food to homeless people, 6 kids wanted bread, milk, sprite and 7 bags of dried meet. For an older man I bought a big bag of rise, and four cans of meat. To a 16 yo girl (whose story in the link below) I got something to eat many times, also I got her two christmas presents, something to feel fresh and clean with and some of my clothes, a card and a small wooden heart that said "Remember, you are a child of God and you are loved, blessed and celebrated".

Didn't take her to the dentist though, on Monday I needed to go to the doctor to get an X-ray for my Visa and I went looking for Gloria - that's her name. Couldn't find her, and told the ladies at Shell to tell her that it's okay for her to come buzzing at the backpackers, I told them I got a present for her. Was funny driving the car, the wheel is on the right and you also drive on the left side of the road. The lights (robots) are very interesting I have no idea who could go first at crossroads, but somehow I managed to find myself to the doctor. Everything went great, it felt like a private doctor's office and I filled out some forms. I asked the lady behind the counter if I needed to see another doctor after the X-ray and she gave me the number 'cause I needed an appointment. They are fully booked until January. Ahaa. Okay I'm leaving tomorrow to Goa and I bet there are no co-work places for the Visa stuff, so I just go there and try my luck. I had my X-ray and I was ready to go and the lady told me to go to this doctor and wished me luck. I found the right door and told my situation to the ladies there and they asked me to wait, and piece by piece I did what they asked and it was my turn to see the doctor. He was a nice man and told me about his 11 yo daughter so I ended up giving him and to the other lady who had daughters (I asked if they have kids) some nail stickers to give to their girls. As a thank you I guess. I was so happy that it worked out. Then I went back and me, Tuuli and Solly went to a park called Zoolake.

There was a small lake in the park. A restaurant too, but we had our own foods with us for example greek and a melon-apple salads, pieces of coconut and pomegranate, humus, cheese and crackers and spiced corn (which was delicious). Something else probably as well but I didn't have anything else. After food I was leaning on the closest tree and taking pictures of the sky. The clouds were telling me so many stories and I tried to capture their beautiful stories. I'm not yet that good a photographer so it wasn't too easy to try and set the settings so that it would look as nice as they were but, then two kids ran pass us. The first one, boy, was maybe about 11 and the second, a girl maybe 3. I took my camera and followed the girl. They ran to a outdoor s gym setting where a bunch of kids were playing at. Working out in the park. I joined them and took pictures also. The little girl wanted to take pictures of me and I showed her what to do. She was so tiny she hardly managed to press the button. She took my hand and we walked pass Tuuli and Solly to show her grandad that she's with me and she took me to this amazing play area for kids. I mean, it was huge, and colourful - like a fantasy world. She wanted to swing and after two local women from whom I asked what this girl meant when she said something, told me she wanted me to push from behind with tow hands, well, that's what I did. I'm glad she knows what she likes. After the swinging I followed her to another thing and then I noticed a beautiful tree for climbing. I had to climb up. And I did some healing there. I let my arms rest on her branches but higher than my head and it felt wooooooow what the....!!! That was the most powerful tree I'd experienced. The girl told me she wanted food now and we went to our spot. She tried almost everything (brave one) and when her mom and cousins came to get her, she would have wanted me to come with them. The most she liked the spiced corn and would have wanted to have the whole bag (hehe) but that's too heavy for kids so I ended up giving them the coconut pieces. I don't know, maybe I knew this precious soul in the past too, as a princess of some kind.

In the evening, another friend from PE but who's from Joburg, Masi stopped by the backpackers and we hung out. Went to look for Gloria and found her, I just wanted to tell her I have something for her and sorry for I didn't find her earlier for the dentist. She was very happy I came by and the next day when I gave her the presents, she told me Masi had bought them (Gloria and her 27 yo friend who is also sleeping there) something after he left Homebase (we were actually kicked out because it was late and we were talking in the yard). I had to write a few letters because I was sending books (one to Kelly and one to Finland) so I needed some time to chill and eat and do some stretching before the flights in the evening. Oh yeah we partied Tuuli's birthday on Friday, went to a Jazz place where the rule was to be quiet and eat while the band played. I liked the rule. But I had to get out from there at times, so I went either downstairs (to buy three cd's that jumped to my eyes) or outside, where one time I went to get money from the ATM with a security guy, and to a grocery store with a homeless guy (ah no, this homeless guy was after the dinner at another place we went to for drinks (all but me). There I also met a younger kid with whom I had a connection with. He had tredlocks so maybe I met him in Jamaica one life. Hahahhhh this is a pretty funny way to go about your life. I hear that our souls tend to meet same souls in each life, new ones of course but same ones for sure, to teach us things - if we have unfinished business or karma with some energies. So it's funny to try thinking about what have I done with this soul before and where. Who were we and what's my lesson this time.

I really loved South Africa, incredible experiences and with these (plus many more) in my heart's memory I left the country for Christmas in another home of mine, Anjuna Goa. The trip (three fligths) wasn't that interesting to write about. So next time GOA <3

...what do I want for christmas...

First stop: Port St John's and a random trip to see Sangomas

You experience incredible views while you drive through South Africa. So green everywhere. Different types of trees and thousands of mountains. At times you get petrol stations, small or bigger housing areas with different animals (cows, goats, horses, hen) or big cities. Port St John's is deep in the mountains with a coastline and forests with waterfalls. There are sharks near so you shouldn't swim in the ocean, but there are also some of nature's own rock pools where you could dip yourself into.

So our road trip begun on the 11th of Dec when the girls picked me up from the bus station around 9am. After about 11 hours we arrived in Port St John's. The place where we stayed at was Amapondo Backpacker Lodge. It was so cool. The dorm was BIG so our stuff had enough space. There were 12 beds and us three were the only ones there. We were hungry and pretty exhausted, but also excited about the three nights ahead. We had dinner and hung out with the people who worked there as volunteers. Four other people (3 australians, from close to Byron Bay and one local rastaman) came in the dorm as well for one night and one of them (an mc, who teaches rap to kids - I call him a starseed because he had special dreams) was telling me that they are filming a documentary about Sound Healing and that they will meet Sangomas tomorrow, I was like can I come with and the next day all three of us went with them to see the Sangomas. It was about an hour away somewhere waaay in the mountains that was very difficult to drive there, the rasta was asking directions from everyone we were passing by. 


You don't see this a lot so I took a picture. Apparently there was a police academy near by.


Simple living in the mountains





Eventually we got there. It was a small holding of a local family and there were a couple of simple local style buildings and eco toilets. The two Sangomas (a Zulu word for Southern African traditional healers) to me looked like kings. I got the feeling that they must have done something nasty in their past life if not in their past this life, there was something in their eyes... The other one actually told me that he had a dream the night before that we would come there. Maybe they were once pirates and did something bad to me and I was there now to heal the past traumas. I don't know, these funny thoughts just come to my mind out of nowhere.

One of the australians was interviewing one of the Sangomas for the documentary and he was asking about dreams, because he had seen dreams where he flew in space and met different types of extraterrestrials and stuff and was pretty scared of the dreams for he didn't understand what they wanted to tell him. I know something so I was very interested about the subject and was listening. But to me it seemed like the Sangoma wasn't that deep in the dreamworld so the answers weren't what I was hoping to hear, but the guy I guess was happy with them. There were also three Sangoma students and one of them told her story, all of them had had some illness which was why they were seeking something else to heal them. Also there was a lady who looked like an angel and I asked her what her story was. She never had children, only a miscarriage and was looking for answers for why God didn't want her to have kids.. While I was massaging the dream Aussie to get anxiousness out of him, she noticed something in me, that I'm on the path of becoming a healer and wanted to coach me. She was also on her own healing journey and I appreciated her for sharing her story and wise words. After that the king who dreamt about us did something to me too, massaging and something else that felt really good but was strange, kind of like throwing bad energy off of my shoulders. They both were giving me information about how to protect myself from energy vampires. We weren't planning on spending the night there but the australians were and we would have never found our way back without them so we stayed as well.

There were about twenty of us sleeping in the cabin

Watching the sunset
Getting ready for the Sangoma ritual
I was so tired and me and Tuuli were sleeping during the ritual, where they were dancing and shouting and drumming. Somehow it was relaxing and it was allright sleeping in the noise. The next morning we had to leave before 5 am because the Aussies needed to get to the airport in time. I told them that I'm going to come to Byron Bay, and I'd love to make music with rappers and I also love working with kids. This random trip was meant to happen and we'll see how it goes when I get there. If I ever see the guys again.

Ah I don't like this post, it's so hot here and my brain doesn't work properly now, also it's my last few hours in South Africa and I had some problems with my flight tickets (apparently I didn't have any so I bought new ones). After three flights I'll be in Goa TOMORROW !!! My friend Babal will pick me up at the airport. Now I go to the post office to send some stuff to places and sooooon I'll go to the airport.
