Maybe 4 and a half hours ain't enough sleep to have before spending 20hours either in airports or on a plane. Oopsy. Anyways it was still worth it. I was up at 7am, showered, hair straightened and packed by 8am! I woke the rest of the girls in the dorm though, with my hair dryer and turning on the lights so I could manage to see to be able to pack. They weren't very happy but thats the joys of living in a dorm!!! I met Phoebe, Nicole and Sandy for breakfast at...

I managed to sleep until 9am this morning which was really fine. My time in Cape Town has flown past and I can't believe this is my last day. First I put all my clothes into get washed as I was down to wearing my bikini as underwear hehe. then went to the post office to send a parcel home full of souvenirs. When I got back to the hostel, Clare was just back from her paragliding and was about to leave. We said our goodbyes :( which was horrible and then I spent...

So I headed off on my own to the biggest shopping mall in Cape Town. The Canal Walk. I waited for the shuttle bus as a taxi was going to cost ...

Randa, Sam and I had booked a trip weeks ago for Robben Island Museum today. The ferry left the waterfront at 9am, so we got a taxi just after 8. I really can't think I've slept longer than 7.30am since the weekends at Brackenhurst. It was a very interesting morning,. we had a 45 minute bus ride around the island, seeing all 4 of the prisons and the local village on the island before visiting the maximum security prison. The guided tour of the maximum secu...
