Peninsula All Suite Hotel Cape Town

... our fellow interns, etc. The program is meant to make you feel as though you have plenty of help if you need it, but that you have access to resources for planning your own journeys and fun experiences. I have a lot of freedom to do whatever I choose to do at my own discretion while I'm here. That will work well with the amount of time I hope to spend at/with Jubilee Community Church (JCC). I am planning on stopping by there on Sunday ...

... and i'll say again the kindness of strangers never fails to amaze me. After India i thought no one could be as accommodating and friendly but the South Africans soon showed me different. They are so unbelievably warm and welcoming. I had literally known the girl who adopted me for a few hours before she took me under her wing and whisked me off to Oudtshoorn. She had absolutely no ulterior motives and was simply a star! Special stuff. XXX

... climb and that we did. Hans got to the very top battling a sand storm, Jenny got about ¾ up. The late afternoon sun painted the surrounding dunes in a variety of colours. Lüderitz, a port town with a natural harbour lies very isolated and windswept on the barren south west coast. Sitting on cliffs and rocks to Jenny it looked like a Norwegian place on the South Atlantic. Sea fog still swept in at lunch time ...

... s and dignitaries, employees of CIDA and the Canadian univ**sity students involved in an 8 week exchange programme. Marc-Andre was also in attendance, as he is the programme coordinator for the CIDA exchange and was busy sup**vising his 'kids'. The party was nice and I ended meeting some v**y int**esting people, including the Political Offic** for the US Embassy in Accra. We spent some time discussing human rights in Ghana and CHRAJ and he gave me his card and said to get in ...

... for a bit longer. After 20mins or so of an empty carousal and the only information we were getting was "It takes time boss." I rang Justin to let him know I landed safely but my bag may not have. I chilled some more and then I heard an announcement "We're sorry for the delay on your luggage coming through. We've temporarily lost it." WELCOME TO AFRICA!!!! By the time I got my bag and was out in Justin's arms I wasn't so ...

... and got to see the warrior dance. I can't believe how high they can jump without any help- it looks like they are on a trampoline. Our guide was the son of the village chief and his name was Jackson- very Maasi! It was very interesting to meet them and find out how they are trying to preserve their authentic ways like lighting fires but it was funny when one got a text message on his phone and the other used a lighter to light a candle! They all ...

It seems like forever when you have two longhauls in a row - with about 6 hours connection in London. That's what happens when you try and combine SAA with Air Canada (both Star Alliance members!). SAA handed out the wrong menus - those intended for inbound instead of outbound - and didn't even bother to correct the mistake. So dinner was a guess ....

... en ik de haven daar hadden ze zeehonden. SUper leuk. Zaterdagmidag heb ik heel de dag in de zon gelegen. Om vier uur ben ik samen met Anneke en Johan naar Stellenbosch vertrokken. De studentenstad van Capetown. Daar zijn we naar een paar bandjes wezen kijken, en we zijn lekker op stap geweest. Een ontzettend gezellige avond. ZOndag hadden we nog een braai bij iemand thuis, maar dat werd een beetje laat en dus zijn we maar ...

... last day in Cape Town! Not even a full day, our flight left from the airport at 11:45 pm. We'd book the Day Trippers Wine Tour as our final activity. There were just 3 of us on the trip and we visited 4 vineyards in the wine lands outside Cape Town. 2 of the vineyards had wonderful wines, and 2 (the fancier of the group) I was not very impressed with. Very hit and miss I guess. We also stopped off at a cheetah sanctuary where we saw ...
