Robben Island
For some reason this morning I didn't wake up to my alarm but Britni came in and woke me up and then we were on our way to the gym. We were both so sore and exhausted this morning and on the way back it drizzled which we hadn't seen it do yet here. We ...
Langa
... in. I chose to sit out, I don't know why but I just felt extremely homesick then because I just miss America and our culture. South Africa is wonderful and lively and amazing but it's not home and home is where I want to be I think. We went back ...
The journey home
After staying up till about 3:30 or so I fell asleep in Kelsey's room with my bags mostly packed. I woke up at 7 30 and made my way to breaki where we gave our goodbye gifts to Reg, Leslie, Reagen, and the mentors. We got Reg a weekend for he and his ...
Run Away!
... long walk! but so worth it :) After that we walked back down then on another trail so we could go to the most south western point of Africa. Let's just say my choice of flip flops and a skirt were NOT the right choice of outfit today lol but I got some ...
New Moon
So last night I have no clue why but it took me forever to do my homework! I was up till 4 am with Allison and Kelsey P. finishing it. Then I ended up going to bed at 5 because I was talking to Zach and checking email. When my roommate woke me up today I ...
3rd class Train rides
Quinton, our history and culture of South Africa professor, heard that some of us wanted to run while we are here so he told us all to be out at 6 30 am and he would show us a route... Well I barely made it because that is kind of early if you ask me ...
Sand, Sand, Sand
After my morning workout with Britni this morning, we had breaki and then got ready to go to the cheetah rehabilitation center. We took the coach bus which still smells like fish for some reason and I sat by Kelsey Parkinson. We used our bus ride to ...
Dance the night away
Today we went to the Cape Town Hillsong Church which was really exciting because Hillsong is so big in the Christian world especially in music. So of course we took the train to get to Cape Town and I was so proud of myself because I was doing some ...
Time to Relax... well mostly
So I fell asleep last night before I planned to and when I woke up at 1:30 am went to shower than talked to Zach and went to back to bed lol. This morning we had chapel and then I worked on my history homework from 10-1 so that we could have our D group ...
Sunburns in December
I had another early 5:00 a.m. start today but it actually isn't too bad. It is so quiet out in the morning and we saw the tail end of the sunrise on our run to the gym and it was so beautiful! After the gym and breaki we had our last chapel which I ...
Trains and Taxis
Today was our final day of our History and Culture of South Africa class. Now all we have left is to do our papers and turn them in on Wednesday to Quinton. I have yet to start that, actually instead of writing that write now I am writing this... haha. ...
Table Mountain
Finally the day that I had been dreading had come, the day we climb table mountain. We left at 9 from BI and I think we started hiking by 9 30 or 10? I am not really sure but the hike took about an hour and a half to 2 hours. It was rocky and steep the ...

Beach Huts at Muizenberg and Lunch at Kalk Bay
... Peninsula curves round to the east on the False Bay Coast. It is considered to be the birthplace of surfing in South Africa and I can understand why with these beautiful beaches and pounding waves. The beach is dotted with these darling beach ...
Horuca nedela
Dnes bol velmi horuci den. Hlavne preto, ze bolo takmer bezvetrie, co sa tu nestava casto. Inak zaujimavostou Kapskeho mesta je to, ze cez vikendy je tu najteplejsie. Neviem ako to robia, ale zda sa mi, ze je to takmer naopak ako u nas. Dnes sme mali ist ...
