Stillness Manor & Spa Cape Town

... gives some nice views and there are large houses along the road, it reminds me of going snowboarding in Italy,but without the snow. When we get to the cable car stop you get a good view of Cape Town, and can look up and see just how high the mountain is. Before we buy the tickets we go to a hat shop so I can replace the hat I lost on the wine tour. We get on the cable car and the man says “for your safety please ...

... which restaurant this was for, and found out it was in The Atlantic restaurant (the biggest restaurant in the hotel). We are seated shortly after walking in we noticed perhaps the largest breakfast buffet in the city. This thing rivaled what they produce in Vegas. There was a whole table of just fruits, another of salads, one for cereals. Then once you turned the corner, there was another long table of hot items and ...

... his coke, it clearly was still an anxious thought and he needed the constant reassurance. I felt privileged to have such a perfectly-autistic stereotypical conversation first hand, an interesting insight into the confusing world of Autism. The kids at Vera seemed very happy, they had good bonds with teachers, I would see teachers give hugs to their children everyday and play with them in the playground at break. All the professionals there were very interested in Autism ...

... SA at the wrong time of year for both sharks and whales. still though, Chris and Monique are going on a shark trip on March 4 and i hope to join them. even if we don't see a shark, just being out on the water with them would be so educational. they have a huge passion for all the creatures we might see off of Cape Town. fingers are officially crossed! i took the train to meet Chris and Monique and was so surprised that it ran like clockwork. the trains were ...

... Yesterday, we hiked almost all the way up Table Mountain, but had to turn around because the wind was too strong and the cable car was closed. We still went a long way and it was fun to climb with Andrew. Then we went to the Waterfront where I got to bungee jump on a trampoline, ride a giant Ferris Wheel, and also get a new DS. I gave Andrew my old one for Christmas and he loves it! We had pizza at my favorite place, then we came home and hung out with Winston and swam ...

... lifts to and from work. May be going down to Victoria and Alfred Waterfront tomorrow or Wednesday for the day while Dani's in work. Will be good to be down there again. May go to Greenmarket too to buy afew things. Other than that no news here by me! Really need to sort out the volunteer side of things in next couple of days. Sara Fox hospital is out now as they won't take on international volunteers.. plus it was ...

... people on cell phones in the village. These people didn't even have running water and they were talking on cell phones! That day we flew back to Cape Town and I had dinner at a place called Moyo. It was an African restaurant located outside in the trees and tents. Areas of it were even up in the trees. It's a very well known place for the cultural experience and ambiance it provides for its guests. The food was amazing. I had so many new types of food including ...

... we didn't plan to go to were actually the best parts of the trip. I know you're gonna ask me which country was my favourite but obviously I have NO idea lol they've all had amazing parts that I will always love and remember... I loved Egypt for its chaos and the fact that I got to experience middle-eastern culture and become immersed in the feeling of a country so influenced by Islam, and its gorgeous scenery and diverse landscape and the fact that ...

... it's the best and closest thing to Mexican food I've had since I came to Africa. The next day Beca and I headed out on a wine tour while Emily and Jason went surfing and hung out. Just outside of Cape Town in Stellenbosch and Paarl, the winelands region is one of the most beautiful areas aside from the coasts. Vineyards line the rolling hills, wild flowers grow in bounty and small antique shopping towns make you think of Sideways...or if you're from ...

... a few beers Mye got the munchies so decided to head to a pie shop he'd spotted earlier in the day. The only problem was the only things left in there to eat was one apple pie and one rib pie. The shop assistant was keeping the shop open even though there was nothing to sell. A pie shop with no pie's. There wasn't really much to keep us in JB so we decided to head straight up to Port Elizabeth the next day. On the first morning we went to our lodge reception and bumped into Colette ...
