Our last three days in Cape Town were semi-eventful. After the two days on the bus we had a day of walking and went to the Old Biscuit Mill which is like a market. It was really busy and took us like an 1 hour and a half to get there while allowing us to walk through a weird part of town. We then walked along Long St to shop and stuff but apparently shops close at 1pm on Saturday. Really? So we wasted time at the hostel and decided to go to a movie at this littl...

Another fantastic day in Cape Town. Katie and I took the blue route on the bus and visited Kirstenbosch, a big botanic gardens first. It was nice. Lots of lovely views. We then headed on the wine tour and walked around the vineyard and surrounding area and had lunch. The world of birds was the next stop-- self explanatory. Then we headed back into town and walked around a bit to waste time before we went on our night tour. We headed to Signal Hill on the ni...

Today was a success. Katie arrived last night and it was lovely to be reunited. I'm pretty sure I said hi and then fell asleep because it was like 11pm.

The interns ...

December 10 Where shall I even begin? I guess the first exciting thing that happened last week was that I got seasick. Literally that might have been the worst feeling ever. The trip started off promising. Had a great group of people going out on the boat; Eva, Caitlin, Jackie, Jacob and I with Dan skippering. It was a lovely day-- perfect set up. I had the role of lookout (aka the easiest job). All I had to do was sit up top on the look out post and watc...
