Lucky you - it sounds as though you got to do exactly what
pleased YOU, without having to feel responsible in any way to
family / friends / peer pressure. Good on ya !
For me, the evening itself passed without too much excitement -
we let off fireworks ourselves and our neighbours put on a really
brilliant pyro show which we were lucky enough to be able to get a
clear view of.
After some sleep, at 6am I headed off to Table Mountain (one of the
chakras of the earth - apparently?! Never knew this, and I live on
the slopes of it :-) ) and it was (unfortunately for me, solitude-
seeking as I was) totally chock-a-block full of cars and people,
many of whom obviously tourists. The cable cars were running
throughout the night and many people had spent the night on top of
the mountain (an amazing vantage point and truly beautiful place).
I just drove way past the melee and sat on a rock for half an hour,
observing the first sunrise of the new year.
Music? In my car I had my beloved cassette of Surreal Sheep's
Aural Expansion from '95. Still a huge favourite.
