Hi everyone, well we have arrived in Cape Town and managed to book a fantastic apartment just outside the town called Century City which has a new Island Club. We have uploaded the photos of the apartment as it's all very noval having our own place and a kitchen where we can cook without waiting for 20 other people to finish with the pots and pans. We have our own heated pool and a gym (obviously we will use at least three times a day whilst staying here!). It'...

Good afternoon. Have been in PE for a week now and although we were both quite excited to be starting our hockey placements, they've turned out to be very disappointing. We arrived at the designated Gap Sports accommodation on Saturday afternoon only to find that it used to be a disused army barracks and they are starting to decorate it for the purpose of Gap Sports coaches.....the only problem being that they haven't got that far! After continual cold showers,...
