Just a quick one to say I am having a fantastic time in Cape Town! I have been up table mountain, done a township tour, Robben Island and today went down to see the penguins at Simons town and then the Cape of Good Hope. Tomorrow we plan to go look around the city, and then visit one of the beaches, and there is a carnival in the evening. Then we will finish off with a trip around some vineyards with wine, cheese and chocolate tasting!! Heaven!! Will give you m...

Luckily that passed in time for our BBQ in...

I did however get to teach them English for that hour & a half which went well, and I get the weekend off of lesson planning because I am now ahead of myself. I am also now doing practical arts, which seems to be a mix of everything, but art! I however am going to do actual art wit...
