Cape Manor Hotel Cape Town

... move. Solitary, or with a child or two, walking, walking. At a slow and steady pace, right along the highway too, no pavement, cars rushing by and no obvious destination. Many a time I have asked the driver: 'Where are they going to? How far must they walk?' 'Oh, here and there, who knows,' would be the answer. Sometimes a walker would hold out some rand notes, languidly waving them at the vehicles but looking straight ahead. I suppose they don't really expect anyone to stop and if ...

... Africa. The restaurant has breathtaking views of the city which were particularly stunning on a cool, starry night. If you find yourself in Cape Town, please treat yourself to a meal in this warm and wonderful family owned restaurant. You don't have to take my word for it because the BBC and Travel Channel have both done short film pieces on this cultural gemJ <br ...

... really struggled with this at first but soldiered on and finally figured it out! We stopped for one night near the border to break the journey then the next night carried on to a great campsite in an orange growing region with an honesty bar. We had two birthday's that night so the bar was rocking till the wee hours and Dan and Andy kept people 'honest' all night. The power went a bit to Dan's head i reckon though and many people were declared 'off tap' at ...

... of them were drunk whenever I was talking to them. Either way, theft here is really common and it is becoming more apparent to me as I have now been here for almost 2 months. The other day I went to go get pizza with Moses in Rondebosch, and as I was walking towards the pizza shop I saw a car parked kind of half way up on the sidewalk. Someone was dumb enough to leave their car window open and right there in the middle of the afternoon some guy was just ...

... example, Heine was asking us what the race classification would be for him in the US... he is colored here, but he would be considered black in the States. But the interesting thing that we were discussing was how, because his accent is South African and thus somewhat British/Dutch ie quite European, people would like him more for it in the States. But if he were a Spanish speaker (Hispanic/Latino), or if he had a more Asian accent, he would be ...

... From Oudtshoorn we headed straight to Stellenbosch. We had to give Hermanus a miss due to the bus being full on the day we wanted to travel there. I wasn't overly fussed though as I still hadn't made up my mind as to whether or not I agreed with the great white shark baiting and we'd also made ourselves firmly at home in the hostel; snuggling up each night with our blankets and hot water bottles on the sofas in the video room, eating ...

... impromptu cocktails and we went down to the beach for a midnight swim after. The ocean was, of course, freezing, but it was just beautiful and a ton of fun. On Thursday Whitney invited us to come and see the shelter and take a look at Khayalitsha. The kids are so stunning, and despite the Xhosa language barrier, we really had a great time with them. Joseph and I ran the activity and showed them all how to make valentines, which they loved. It was just the best feeling and we ...

So we've been away for ages, and we are having a great time, but we miss Korea - our life and friends there! We had 2 weeks in India, which was cool - but wet! The sun came out for the last 4 days and the place was literally transformed! We then arrived in Jo'burg, after a REALLY long flight, with no luggage! It had been left in Nairobi, so we had to spend the first night in the clothes we'd been wearing for 2 days - no happy bunny's! So then we went to the Drakensburg ...

... mee verblijden en daar heb ik jullie hulp voor nodig!) Het overnemen van de klas was erg leuk, we hebben Nederlandse liedjes en spelletjes gedaan en Nederlandse liedjes ( bijvoorbeeld hoofd,schouders,knie en teen ) Natuurlijk hebben we ook nog hard gewerkt hoor. Hahaha. Woensdag hadden we een uitje met de klas. We zijn naar het planetarium geweest. De kinderen waren erg enthousiast, toch gedroegen ze zich erg goed ...

... days. The cricket was a very chilled out way to spend a day and have a bit of craic. I read the papers, a few books, listened to my iPod, enjoyed the sun and definately had a nice day. Hopefully we'll get to Athlone Stadium for the Ajax Cape Town game tomorrow, logistics permitting The truck has left Cape Town at this stage and is probably winding its merry way to the next fun filled destination
